Getting a thought across to students in a short video can happen in all sorts of ways, and using puppets is one of the better ones for making content that can appeal to all ages.

In this contest-winning video, Dennis Grice of Concordia International School in Shanghai made a piece to help students learn how not to spam each other, as well as what to do when getting messages that make you mad.

Spam: Don’t Do It

A follow-up to watching this 90-second video might be having students think of some of the most important pieces of what they’ve studied, and to brainstorm what puppet PSA’s could be that would help them remember the concepts going forward.

If they go ahead with making the videos, you might have them follow the rules in the Next Vista for Learning Creative Flight ’17 contest, which runs through April. Find all the details here.
