Thing 7 - Video Resources

Classroom use of videos is not a new idea but today, there are numerous electronic sources available for students and teachers to obtain videos. We use Discovery Education everyday for information in all subjects.

Videos are an easy way for students to learn and view information that is not always available. They are able to watch a video about the art of map making, soap making, or the home of the Native American Indians. We frequently need to locate a video about the early pioneers. The younger grades are always in need of videos about community helpers and American symbols. The Internet provides us with many sites that have knowledgeable, appropriate, creative videos, so it's just a matter of locating the video that fits the need.
