Learning from Watching Videos

[Brandon]

I've been noticing that to really grasp as much information as is found packed into our rich new videos (especially the introduction to Bible books), it helps if I pause and resume the video often, whenever something hits me that I need to really think about in order to take in.

 

Well, one of the few youtube series I actually watch just featured this video about educational technology (highly recommend!)  and the first few minutes of it talk about how to best grasp information in video form (including changing the playback speed, which you can do if you download the intro videos from the website and use something like VLC to play them) as well as pausing, as I mentioned. Also, she mentions that when you pause, try to intuit what might come next; this is surprisingly similar to the suggestion in the Benefit book about surveying material before reading it, and actually asking yourself "what do I expect I will learn?"

Thank you for the tips.

Yes, in our KM School recently, it was emphasized just how amazing of a book it is for us. A true gem.

At last I found where the Morning worship talks are.  These talks are of special interest because they are given by the absolut top brothers in Jehovah's organization. There are quite many talks by Governing Body members.  But also by the President of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and other key brothers. 

Especially I liked today to listen to brother Alex Reinmueller speaking about How Can We Be Fair. (Acts 10:34)

Maybe it is difficult to find this section,  as it was for me. But here is how you do:

 

1.Find JW broadcasting

2.Find Video on demand,  click Browse Videos

3.Click Programs and Events

4.Here look for Morning Worship

Here you can find 92 short talks that are about 10 minute each. 

 

Something that interested me was also brother Splane's talk about how the Governing Body does when they make changes in explanations. 

The talk is titled: Decisions of “the Faithful and Discreet Slave” (Matt. 24:45)

These are also available in the JW Library app.  They come up in the 'Whats new' section.

I share your excitement on the bounty to be found!!.  Wanting not to miss any I figured I would work through the talks and keep track - so last week I put together a list of the talks and where they are available.  PDF attached - I printed it book form double sided and so it fit on one page and we have it tucked in with our large print Bible.  We have been using this list for our personal studies.  Perhaps you might find it handy.  This list is of talks in the order they are presented online.  I also did a sort by way of speaker and title.

Wonderful!  Thank you for sharing Brandon!

 

I had originally posted looking for a list I could print and use for resourcing and recording keeping of talks we had listened to - when the search proved fruitless - I endeavoured to make my own.  Shared because it was somewhat more time consuming than I had anticipated but pleased to have for our own studies.
