Thing 7

I like You Tube for its variety of offerings and shortness (???word) of clips. This makes it easy to use in a class period. It underscores the question "Why not use technology that students love to teach more effectively?" Teacher Tube and School Tube are similar in nature. Another site to check out is Hulu. Although this one needs to be used with much preparation as it contains TV shows and some videos. You will find current shows as well as educational based ones. In closing we should also not forget Discovery Education as a source for videos for our students. The new version has improved the ease of use and added many more features. Students can be assigned to watch clips and animations and comment on line thus completing the work at home or at least out of class. Also take a look at Teacher Domain - a wealth of clips for education. Access to You Tube is the same everywhere in the district - teachers yes - students no.
