What better than a simple fun video to explain Social Media? Answer: there is none. Haha, really though, I find myself distracted by how much I like the style of this video series, but it is none-the-less effective.

Wanna meet up in Scoopville?

I think this is a great vieo as a simple explanation of the concept, value, and potential of Social Media. Watch it! It's only 3:44! :)

Hardware in Plain English [].

The video is a reasonably well thought out explanation and uses effective analogies to bring the subject of computer hardware to an understandable level for most students. It is interesting, informative and entertaining, and definitely worth a watch.

Katie Tsangarakis Mr. Duey Fractions Official Video http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=24266&title=Mr_Duey_Fractions_Official_Video This video helps middle school students to better understand their fractions. I recommend it because it is entertaining and engaging, approaching math from a fresh perspective that students can connect with.

Andrew Burton Investing Money in Plain English [] Investing your money can help you to build your money through interest in a savings account. You can make more money investing your money in other investments other than in just the bank account. The catch is that you take on more risk and it can be hard to assess how an investment will do over time. I recommend this video if you want to learn a few easy tips on investing. Students are not made aware of how to manage money and this would be a great start for them.

Stephanie Cabral Video: Pay Attention [] This video presents today's students as being digital learners and draws attention to the extent to which technology is used not only by youngsters and adolescents, but by society as a whole. We are truly a technologicl society. I am recommending this video to you because I, for one, feel much less technologically competent than my students. I think the gap between us and them is only getting bigger! Therefore, I feel it is important for us as future teachers to know exactly what we'll be facing!
