I am no stranger when it comes to utilizing videos in the classroom. Videos provide an avenue for different types of learners to grasp the concept or lesson being taught, and is a great way to review learning. I often use United Streaming or Discovery Education, but I recently became aware of how useful Teacher Tube is. One video I chose to upload displays great pictures of landforms across the world and can provide some real world visuals for students to view as they learn about water and land. The other video I chose to upload invites children to create dolls that embrace the differences amongst them. It discusses the importance of respecting others despite differences. This is an important video that can be viewed by students at the start of the school year when establishing rules. Students need to understand that they are all different in their own unique way and those differences must be respected. I found the first video by typing 'landforms' in the search bar in Teacher Tube and the second video was found by accident as I was looking for an addition rap, but I'm sure you can type in respect or something to that nature to recover the video.
