Thing #20

Teacher Tube and You Tube can be awesome resources for the library and classroom. The videos are simply one more "tool" for a teacher. The great thing about videos online is that you don't have to worry about checking them out or if another teacher has a certain video when you need it. We know that our students are excited about videos. If we want our kids to get excited about what we are teaching, showing short videos can be one way to do it. I thought the video I embedded was interesting and so true. Web 2.0 gives anyone with a voice a place to be heard. Maybe one of our students will be the next to start a radio broadcast out of their bedroom. Only it will be a "podcast" using Web 2.0.
