Amanda Helli You Tube Video- "Whole Brain Teaching: The Basics"

After watching the video I liked the idea of the class repeating the information presented to their neighbour. This method is effective in that we learn approximately 90% of what we teach to someone else. That being said, if a teacher had ever taught me in this manner of call and response in college I definately would have dropped the class. If I had been taught in this manner in highschool I would have skipped many of the classes. Chris Biffle believes this method can be used for K-college. In my opinion this method of teaching would not work beyond grade 6. In addition I found it extremely upsetting that an educator would tell the class they did something good when he should have said they had done it well. He said this several times throughout the video. Educators must model proper grammer.

Ashley Adamec Teacher Tube Video- "Did you know? 2.0"

The video talks about how fast the world is changing. Although it is comparing the US to other countries such as India and China, I thought it was still a cool video and quite relevant. It gives some "facts" (have to view everything wish a grain of salt) that are really interesting. It just shows how technology has influenced so many people's lives today. I'm sure many of you have seen this already, but if you haven't it is something you should see just to know.

Joe DiBenedetto Teacher Tube Video - "Relationship Between Curriculum and Instruction"

The video uses the analogy of building a house to show the relationship between curriculum and instruction. The blueprints are your long-term goals that help you answer questions like "what do we want to accomplish?" Whereas instruction is used for short term goals with the end in mind. Short term goals involve hands on work following the plan. When the curriculum is combined with effective instruction Big Things Happen - such as building a house. This video is reminds us of the importance of working together, following a plan, and keeping the Big Ideas in mind when teaching.

Mostafa Awad You Tube - "TeacherMate" Rendered better in below link.

This is a new Handheld device called TeacherMate. It has fun educational games focusing on language and math. The video explains how scores doubled or more in Chicago after a year of using this hand held. It only costs $50 which makes it the most affordable way to get each student a "computer".

Note: Due to copyright matters, YouTube videos were not too detailed but they led me to the below link which is the most comprehensive video look at the device.

 * Music and Math**

Although this is a very crudely/amateur video is does convey the message that music is constantly related back to math. It may help to inspire those students who love music, but are struggling with math. Being able to think of math in music terms may help them relate to the problems, and therefore have a higher success rate.

 * The Science of Fizz Carbon Dioxide - Part 4**

This is a short video that discusses the uses of, and need for, carbon dioxide in our everyday lives by linking the science of carbon dioxide with the everyday use of carbon dioxide in soda pop. The information is presented in a student-friendly format with a mixture of interviews, video, photos, and animation, and simple language is used to make the information more accessible to students in younger grades. The video ends with a question that supports higher order thinking and engages student imagination, "How would your life be different without carbon dioxide?"

 * How is Chocolate Made?**
 * []**

This video shows how chocolate is made! How it is processed within the plants in Venezuela and the refining process that it goes through before it is shipped out to other companies worldwide. Videos like this are great for in the classroom because they give children insight into things that affect them using varied vocabulary suitable to different lessons they experience in class. This one for instance can be related to history, science, and social studies to name a few. Students might enjoy videos such as this one becaues it is something they enjoy and it shows the behind the scenes factors involved in the production and consumption of chocolate. Mmmm all these interesting/educational facts that can be found behind one bite of chocolate.

Deanna DiSabatino Basic Math: Lesson 6 - Introduction to Fractions [] This video makes the point that children often fear learning about fractions, yet they don’t realize how commonplace fractions are in their everyday lives. This video is useful in identifying strategies to make fractions relatable to students, as it identifies how fractions are encountered when dealing with money, music, sports, time, and cooking.

Terri Sitarski [] This is a one minute video of a song explaining the water/evaporation/condensation cycle. I would use this video to introduce a catchy song to students to understand the cycle that water travels through on an everyday basis. It is simple song and video, but I think one that you could play at the beginning of your science class when you teach the changes in states of matter (evaporation, condensation, freezing. Sometimes a simple jingle or song can be engrained into a child's mind for no other reason than to help understand or remember a concept. I think it's a good little video especially for mid-grades; in Grade 5, the kids will be singing it faster than they realize and it may be an alternative to trying to memorize this cycle.

Mr. Duey - Fractions Official Video

http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=24266&title=Mr_Duey___Fractions_Official_Video

This is a hilarious "rap" video about fractions, teaching how to get rid of improper fractions with some surprisingly effective graphics. Is it cheesy? Absolutely. Will the kids remember it? Most likely. It's not too long, the kids will laugh, and for a teacher-made video it's actually pretty slick which is a change from most video efforts from teachers (where do you find the time, Mr. Duey?). Fractions can be tricky...this video is a good ice-breaker which can help kids feel slightly less intimidated as you start teaching this subject.__
