Thing - #20 Explore You Tube & Teacher Tube

A picture is worth a thousand words and that's why both of these are great sites for general users and especially for teachers. I love to search through these looking for subjects that I like to read about. Teachers will have to be careful when using these because language is just not proper.

The videos and information on Teacher Tube are made by teachers and for classroom instruction. It's so helpful to be able to use video information as part of teacher. There are many ways to do it, but using the video in its entirety or using video segments that are important to the classroom instruction are both easily done. Students will be able to hear and see the information presented in a creditable, sequential, and timely manner. Often the students will be able to watch and and hear emotional reactions to actual historical and cu rent events. The video can be stopped, (while ideas or events are discussed) started, and replayed depending on what the needs of the instruction requires.

www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuff?user=105496526559508809757 is a link for a video which was filmed during the actual hurricane. The narrator says a few sentences at the beginning to set up the time, setting, and what is happening. Teachers can integrate this into their lesson about hurricanes and the students will love this video.
