If there’s one thing students might love more than digital learning tools, it’s watching movies and TV shows. Capitalizing on the learning opportunities that exist within the content that graces television screens each day, ClassHook is a service that helps teachers and parents turn what their kids are watching into learning opportunities. To most students, TV shows serve as a break from learning but we know that there are tons of opportunties to learn even when, perhaps, they're focusing on entertainment. And, with ClassHook and its deep content library, educators can help students learn some new things while they relax.
ClassHook helps students locate relevant television and movie clips while learning about how that content ties into real-life learning. While they use ClassHook, students can connect their personal lives to concepts they may be discussing in their various classes. Since educators can search by topic in ClassHook, they're able to find scenes from well-known movies that they can use to increase relevance and engage students in learning from start to finish.
ClassHook pricing and playlists.
Within the ClassHook platform, teachers can browse movie and television clips and sort them in a variety of ways. They can browse all clips, browse clips associated with specific academic standards, find official playlists, find clips based on vocabulary, and request or share a clip of their own. There are three versions of ClassHook available: the free version, premium version, and the school or district version. The premium version is $5 per month and the school and district cost varies (they provide quotes to anybody interested).
With the free version, educators have the ability to search and access all clips, create playlists, bookmark key clips, manage video collections, manage discussion questions, find community discussions, embed questions in videos, hold live class discussions, and request new clips. With these other options, kids can do more, including browse clips by standards, access clip insights, and use in-video search. Check out all of the feature of each plan on ClassHook’s Pricing page.
Using movies to enhance instruction.
The ClassHook team offers educators a unique way to teach by leveraging movies and television content in an educational way. By providing these alternatives, they hope to maximize classroom time and keep all kids more engaged, showing them that the scenes they love watching have legitimate real-world relevance. The ClassHook team is constantly updating and optimizing their content library, too. Also, actual classroom teachers routinely vet and sign off on many of the clips within ClassHook for their educational value.
With so much demand for digital media resources today, ClassHook is a very valuable tool for easily finding relevant resources. ClassHook houses clips for enhancing various academic subjects simply by drawing on television and movie content.
