On Line videos
I think it would be great to use on line videos in the classroom. It takes awhile to find what you want. I spent about 45 minutes looking at the sights in thing 21 and finally went to YouTube and found something appropriate. It is easy to copy into your blog from YouTube but the warning from the first time we copied a video makes me apprehensive about giving students access to YouTube on their own. There would probably be many videos available to use in the business classroom. I would show an appropriate video in class without a problem. I might then ask students to comment on the video on a wiki. I'm not sure if YouTube is blocked at my school because I have never asked students to go on the website. I would assume that it is blocked.

You tube is blocked at Monroe Public Schools. As a matter of fact, when I look at my own blog at school all the videos I have embedded are not there. I think if you find something you like and then discuss it with your tech department you will be allowed to use it. I also found that I was consumed by the amount of time one could spend looking for videos. I still go to you tube when I get a chance and look for appropriate school type videos.
ReplyDeleteThis is why a PLN is so important! We're all trying to find the same good "stuff" so when you find something good, you share it, either through delicious, or on your blog, or even good old-fashioned email.
ReplyDeleteYour PLN is your "filter." We all don't have enough time to search all of the various websites for good content, but all of us working together can make a difference.
