What Kind of Educational Films Truly Spark Learning? 🎬

After two years teaching in the heart of Chicago, I’ve realized something both hilarious and tragic: my students often understand TikTok dances better than the water cycle! Isn’t it wild? I dream of 21st-century films that actually make abstract concepts leap off the page and into their minds. But here’s my dilemma—should I craft epic, substitute-worthy sagas, or quick, punchy shorts that leave time for my own dramatic flair? What do you crave most in your classroom? Is it more support for science, social studies, or maybe the ever-elusive art of persuasive writing? I know what I needed, but maybe I’m missing something obvious (wouldn’t be the first time!). Drop your thoughts below—let’s co-create the future of educational cinema! If I’ve overlooked a glaring gap, call me out! 😂 Let’s solve this puzzle together—what’s your dream educational film? #EducationInnovation #TeachingTools #EdTech #Education
