Abstract

Videos are an undeniably useful and accessible way to share information. This can be especially important for parents and caregivers looking for information related to their child’s development, or for organizations wanting to share this information with the general public. There is little information on the types of videos people enjoy watching, or that they can retain the most information from. To look into this, we ran a focus group consisting of 2 sessions with 5 students each. They were shown previously made informational videos about talking, reading, and singing to children through the Talking is Teaching campaign in Porter County, IN. The findings indicated that participants were especially interested in topics such as sorting and categorization, multilingualism, and talking and singing in the car. Ratings from the videos were collected in order to improve videos made in the future for the Talking is Teaching campaign.
