Thing #20 You Tube and Teacher Tube




This is a wonderful age when we have sooooo much access to the information we have available. Now we spend a lot of time weeding through the information, instead of trying to find any. But as educators we are lucky to have these tools available to us. I know the students really enjoy and benefit from Discovery streaming videos. If the district allowed, they could benefit from Teacher Tube and You Tube.

I picked a You Tube video which explains how to use Animoto. A Library 2.o tool where you can put music to pictures. On Teacher Tube, I picked a short video on examples of Hyperboles. As a reading teacher, this would be a great introduction and jump start to discussions about figurative language examples.
