Thing 20

YouTube is BLOCKED. (Anyone notice a theme?) I'm pretty familiar with YouTube though and think it would be great to be able to show those videos at school. (Though I do know about Zamzar and have used it.)



The above video is from TeacherTube. I teach The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien in my Junior IB English classes. This video describes a possibly project that a teacher could use when teaching this novel.

One thing that I really like about TeacherTube is that it has videos for teachers to use for ideas and videos for teachers to show to students. Kids these days (and this teacher) have grown up watching TV and movies. It is valuable to tap into the students interests as we are tricking them into learning something.
