Tool #3- Finding Online Video and Image Resources

Visit several of the video hosting/streaming sites mentioned above. Share with your readers which sites you found most useful for your content and why.

In the past, we have relied heavily on United Streaming and Youtube as educational tools in the classroom. We also use Brainpop, Jr, which the kids LOVE. These videos are educational and kid friendly. They are also very easy to navigate and search. I know that I will be using these websites in my classroom in the future.

Here are some fun videos that we used to help teach counting coins and counting by 5's last year. The kids loved it and were singing the songs all the time.






Copyright- I was always familiar with the laws of copyrighted material, but wasn't familiar with the exact laws. I know now that you can post anything that is copyrighted to a secure website that requires a password or is a walled location. The youtube video is pretty entertaining.

I am excited to use Picassa to upload more pictures for flipcharts and videos!

  1. Think about using PICASA for your personal wedding photos..you can do some cool things and share them easily as well.
    Sharing videos with students will give them something to do at home...but not more paper...you can also embed videos into your flip charts.
