Hook your students with these! Amazing collection of “Content Trailers” for a variety of grades and subjects. Specials will love these too!

Content Trailers are “ short, 2- to 3-minute, media-rich experiences from which a point of inquiry can begin.  Providing students with the images and sounds that can be attached to the textual information that they will be exploring can provide a profound shift in the way learning is engaged. Content Trailers can be one tool to help the process of inquiry begin.”

Think of them as short (spectacular) videos to introduce a subject.

I watched a few and was extremely impressed. The quality of the trailers was superb. Music was varied and Images were top notch. Fantastic tools to hook students into lessons.

Trailers are organized by Grade (K-12), as well as the subjects listed below.

I checked out the one for U.S. Presidents and was shocked to see a content trailer for every single president.

So of course I added it to  U.S. Presidents for Kids

So I moved on to the poetry section and added that one to  Kool Kids Write Poetry.

Places Around the World is now included in  Countries for Kids.

I don’t mean to gush but “Content Trailers” are AWESOME!  I have never seen a collection like this. Created by WBR Technology Dept.
