__Colby Winspear - Section 6__ __Using Blue Web'n as a Teaching Resource__.
 * 1) Techtacular

[] This video provides information about a teaching resource site called Blue Web'n. The video itself is called: "Using Blue Web'n as a Teaching Resource." I recommend this video because it informs future teachers about just one of many teaching resources. This site specifically, provides lesson ideas and plans, specific to the variety of grades and subject elementary school teachers are to cover.

Teaching a Deaf Student Sounds http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=116202&title=13_fff_sound_Mary_Pat

Working with students who are deaf is an area of interest for me. In this video, a young girl named Mary Pat who is deaf is being taught through sign language and voice how to pronounce different sounds. Her lessons seem to be taught at home with her mom and a professional. It would be interesting to see if in a couple years Mary Pat would have established a vocabulary and would be able to be integrated into a normal classroom setting with speaking students.

Andrea Milosavljevic "Creating Groups"
 * 1) techstars

http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=66&title=Creating_Groups

This video is great because it teaches you how to create groups on teacher tube. This allows you to share videos with all the other people in your group, like everyone in our technology class. This can also be useful when we start teaching because you can post videos in your group that you want your students to view.

"Energy and Resources Part 2" [] This video is a great addition to an energy unit in the junior grades. Its a fun video, not too long, very educational and will DEFINITELY keep the attention of your students. It deals specifically with renewable and non-renewable resources.

Jessica Toth []_ This video discusses the impact the internet can have in improving students' writing skills. I reccommend this video because it has a lot to do with the integration of technology into the classroom, which is where education is heading.

isa Clarke "Stop Cyberbullying"
 * 1) Techmates

[]This video talked about cyber bullying. I think this is an extremely important issue because of how advanced technology has become. Children have so many resources to use on the internet (MSN, Facebook, My Space) and the resources are not always used in a nice way. I volunteered in a grade 6 class that had girls crying everyday because of what classmates had said to them over MSN or facebook. I think this issue deserves more attention and needs to be addressed.

Hilary Drummond "Classroom Management Problems Stop Here" [] This video helps teachers with classroom management by offering useful strategies in order to to help students improve their motivation, tardiness, and initiative to go to class. This video is effective because it provides simple strategies that any teacher can implement in their classroom at an inexpensive cost.

Amber Christie "Exercise Boosts Brain Power" http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=21454&title=Exercise_Boosts_Brain_Power_
 * 1) Techmates

This is a light and entertaining video by Dr. John Medina that discusses how exercise boosts brain power in the classroom and in the workplace. It fosters consideration of different strategies that could be implemented to elicit optimum brain power from one's students or employees. I am recommending it as a fun way to remind teachers to encourage movement in class to keep students' attention and intellectual juices flowing.

Monica Interisano Techtacular "My Elephant is Missing" []

This video is a video poem about a child who has lost their elephant. The video provides photographs which follow in a sequence related to the poem. This viedo is a great example to show children, and teach them that not only is a poem words but it can also be put to pictures to help display the theme more clearly.

This site specifically, provides lesson ideas and plans, specific to the variety of grades and subject elementary school teachers are to cover.

Amy McAnally My elephant is missing [] This video clip is a short poem discussing the loss of a girls elephant due to having a bath. I would recommend this clip as an example to a strategy that could be implemented within a lesson instead of simply writing a poem, incorporating a more media literate lesson.
 * 1) Techtacular

Amanda Wright Group 1 "Pay Attention" []This video addresses the fact that children are born into a digital world with lots of digital media surrounding them. I recommend this video because it explains many great reasons as to why teachers should use many different technologies to teach in the classroom. It explains that children will listen more if they are engaged and if we as teachers, teach more effectively with methods they are interested in and understand then teachers can reach them in other effective ways!

Marcia Costa Section 2 "Hard Fun: Transforming Education Through the Arts" [] This video stresses the importance of incorporating the arts into all subject areas because it teaches to all learning styles, it develops the mind in a creative way, and it provides a challenge. I recommend watching the video as it explores an area in education which is receiving more and more positive attention, especially in research and all future teachers should consider using the arts or aspects of it in their classrooms.

Rui Gerardo Group 6, Times Tables and Fun Factors [|Times Tables and Fun Factors] This video gives a new perspective in using our right side of the brain to learn math. I recommend this video because it gives teachers a different method to teaching the times table. His visual approach can help children in a difficult subject.

Joanna Pompilii Techtacular [] "Incorporating Physical Activity in the Classroom" This video demostrates how to incorporate physical activity in the classroom by adding a spinning wheel displaying different exercises that children can carry out within the classroom. I would recommend this video because I think many teachers find it challenging to incorporate physical activity in their classroom, therefore, this video serves as a great resource.

Izabela Korona S03 Techtacular http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=661&title=The_Connected_Classroom

This video examines how our world has changed so much compared to the past. Students have access to unlimited resources on the internet. Advanced technology allows them to have instant information and immediate communication. I reccomend this video because it reminds us that we need to create a classroom where technology is available and used frequently in order to teach students the way they learn best and prepare them for their world. “Connect to students. Connect to their world.”

Kimberlee Ronald S02 My Elephant Is Missing! []This video is an example of a poem interpretation done by a student, in video form. I would recommend this video because it demonstrates an example of an activity that could be done for a creative poetry assignment in a classroom.

Christine Farag S06 []

Giulia Perri s06 http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=63038&title=Encouraging_Teamwork_Amongst_Students This video encourages teamwork in the classroom through a creative cute activity!

Stephanie Carty Wednesday 2:30-4:30pm EDUC 834 Sec 06 "What is Cultural Geography?" []_

This video introduces students to cultural Geography. It steers away from the traditional aspect of physicla Geography. I chose this video because I believe that it is important for students to have a well rounded perspective about Geography as a whole. Too many times students mistake Geography as a 'physical' subject.

Jessica Heikoop Wednesday 8-10am Education 8Y24 Section 1 (#techstars) "Underground Railroad" [] This video clearly displays various photos, songs, and life style aspects of slaves in the United States and the difficulties they faced in both living on, or trying to escape plantation life. I would recommend this video to teachers who are studying the slave trade in North America because it clearly shows various Underground Railroad aspects, and in particular helps students in the Niagara Region understand the importance that cities like St.Catharines had in the Railroad.

Jennifer Grandits Section 06: Techtacular "7 Ways to Reinforce Spelling in Your Class for Teachers" []

This video explains ways to reinforce and teach spelling to your students (eg. Post Words, or Say-Spell-Write-Draw etc). I felt this was important because spelling can sometimes be overlooked, and I feel it is important for children to learn, therefore this were very helpful in forming ways to incorporate spelling in your everyday lessons.

Leah Gouveia Tuesday 8-10am EDUC8Y34 "Demonstrating How Muscles Work" []

This videos explains how the heart muscle works using visual aides to demonstrate. It also explains how muscles become fatigued and the importance of a "warm up" before using your muscles. I would recommend this video because I feel it is important for children to learn about how their bodies work and the importance of physical activity to strengthen the heart muscle as well as other muscles in the body. This way they can have a healthy, active lifestyle.

Jennifer Beirnes EDUC8Y34 Wednesday 2:30 pm

[] This video helps teens to relate to mathematics through hip hop music. A main focus on the 9 multiplication tables.

Allison Green Tuesday 10-12 EDUC 8Y34 "Canada in Plain English" http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=121315&title=Canada_in_Plain_English

This video was done by middle school students on different aspects of Canada. It covers the geographical, historical, natural environment, government, economic, and tourism aspects. It was really well done, and a great idea for a cross-curricular activity on Canadian facts. I recommend this video for ideas on a great lesson idea.

Elyse Kinsella Wednesday 230-430 8Y34 Tenacious "Using base 10 blocks" []

This Video reviews the conspt of using blocks to help elementary children become engaged and understand basic concepts of math. I would recommend this video because it outlines a good game taht teachers can use in their classrooms that children will understand and perhaps know the basic rules and logistics of the game (battleship)

Jaime Sharples Wednesday 1230-230 8Y34 Section 06: Techtacular "Mrs. Burk's Perimeter Rap" []

This video was created by a teacher, Mrs. Burk, who attempts to explain math concepts (measuring area and perimeter) by 'rapping'. I enjoy the video because even though it seems a bit silly, creating a song for difficult subjects helps students retain the information; students can even create their own songs to explain a variety of different concepts from a variety of subjects (math, geography, science, history etc.).

Shannon Fox Tuesday 10-12 8Y34 "ABCs for New Teachers" http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=6294&title=ABCs_for_New_Teachers This video is simple, yet it reviews some important things that new teachers can remember when they first start teaching. I recommend this video because it provides a review of a lot of great advice!

Amanda Hutt Wednesday 2:30-4:30 EDUC 8Y34 Section 5 #technacious "TRIBES" [] This video summarizes the Tribes agreements that are used in Halton schools and classrooms to foster a positive learning environment through participation (and the right to pass), no put-downs, mutual respect, attentive listening, and appreciations. I am recommending this video because Tribes is so important in building a school community, it helps with classroom management as children can refer to these agreements when needed, and it promotes inclusivity.

Brian Gillow Sec 6 #Tectacular "Walkthroughs and Learning Objectives" [] and Learning Objectives This video demonstrates the importance and necessity of principals and upper school management to perform walkthroughs in their schools. I chose this video because it uses humour in delivering this message.

Michelle Parkin Mrs. D's Multiplication Rap Remix [] This video is a great tool to help your class remember tips for multiplication tables. It is also touching on multiple intelligences and may help those who are musically inclined. Just another way to get the message across!

Nadine Reinhart Techtacular Section 6 Inclusion http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=115&title=Inclusion This clip was extremely interesting to me. The clip is of a grade 4 class who helps a child with leukemia study and participate from home. I like the way this teacher and students intergrate technology available to them with funding in order to help educate a peer!

__Tamara D'Hollander Techstar Section 1 Trash to Treasure- Third Grade Project http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=125348&title=Trash_to_Treasure_Third_Grade_Project This clip demonstrates how easy it is to incorporate environmental issues in the classroom while still covering the curriculum (such as art, language, geography and science in this case). The children made animals out of recycled materials and comic strips about going green. It is really important for students to understand these issues at a young age so they are able to adopt sustainable behaviours. I think it is somthing easy that we can all do!__

Jen Ward 4482071 Technacious

i went and checked out the "be green when we clean" video. it is a cute video made by students on how to conserve clean up materials in their classroom. very practical and i think the message hits home because the kids obviously designed/created the video. <embed src="[]

Mike Sydor Being Different is a Solution, Not a Problem [] This video explains how being different is a positive aspect rather then a negative aspect.

Elizabeth Wagner Ancient Egypt Photo Stories http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=102562
 * 1) techaces

This video shows pictures and also explains different aspects of Ancient Egypt, including death rituals, geography, kings, etc. I would recommend this video as a tool to be showed to grade 5 students as a beginning to the Ancient civilizations unit as it gives a brief overview of Ancient Egypt and gives students a glimpse of what they will cover in the unit.

 * 1) technacious

This video shows a very quick and easy picture frame craft that can be used as a part of a social science class when dealing with multiculturalism. I recommend this video because it shows a very simplistic yet creative way to have children use their creativity and knowledge about diversity and multiculturalism to do a fun craft dealing with different peoples heritage.

Janice Kadowaki Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=6252&title=Ordinary_People_Doing_Extraordinary_Things

This video teaches you that if you work hard enough and follow your dreams, you will be successful. The video goes through a number of very well-known athletes, role models, businessmen, and celebrities and describes how they started off in positions just like you and me and worked hard to get to where they are today. Some of these people include Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Mother Theresa, and George Lucas. This video can be used to inspire your students or as a hook to begin a class.\

9 Multiplication Tables HipHop Music Video This video uses hip hop culture to connect with students while teaching the the nine times table. I would recomend this video to the transition years students, but I think it might cause confusion of distraction for younger students.

This video provided great teaching resources on how to create groups. Anyone and everyone has the opportunity to share, discuss and review the videos. As a great future reference, my students would be able to review these videos as well; providing a virtual connection and means of communication.

This video is a quick and effective resource for educating students with Autism. It is a short video based on teaching children with Autism using a token reward system. I was attracted to this video clip because I know that in my furture career as a teacher I will have a multitude of children with different learning abilities. Educating myself on how to effectively teach these children is essential to my success as a teacher.

Ylenia Cervini- #techtacular EDUC 8Y34 Video: The Connected Classroom. URL: [] This video was concerned about the technology within the classroom, and how myspace, facebook and other social portals are becoming part of the classroom. It was interesting to see how the classrooms are evolving into what they call in the video the "internet classroom". Jaclyne Klemenic, Section 5 Video- Saving Money in Plain English. URL-http://www.youtube.com/user/leelefever#play/uploads/7/KqDsevMW7Ds Being responsible is significant in order to have money grow over time. An overall future goal is necessary for success. I am recommending this video because it can help adults of all ages reach their goals in life. This video is informative and uses real life situations that explain the concept of compound interest very simply and efficiently.

Evolution of Beauty" I chose this video because the topic of Media Literacy in the classroom is a high interest of mine. I feel that the people in our society are following the voices and images within the media too much and not detecting the truth of what they are viewing. I think it is our jobs as teachers, to show our students videos like these so that they can become aware of all the false images they are receiving.

Sarah King - //#techstars// // "Don't Laugh at Me" //

[]

This is a music video about bullying written and performed by fourth-grade students. I chose this video because bullying has been a research interest of mine for a long time. This video is pretty powerful, but there are parts of it that may not be appropriate for all viewers; for example, the song itself references "in God's eyes", which is a bit didactic and might not appeal to students of all religions.

I really love to see smartboard technology used in a kindergarten classroom! I have never seen kindergarten students exposed to this type of technology before, and I think it's great, and worth taking a look at! media type="custom" key="4363989"

Dahlia D'Intino - # techaces // " Professional Learning and Technology" // []

This video provided the basic elements of a professional learning community. This video provides examples on the different Database programs and their purpose, example Excel and Powerpoint. It also discusses utilizing what's available. I recommend this video because its focus in on continuous improvement and focuses on results. It also discusses the use of Database Programs, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint.

"Perseverance" []
 * Karen Freeman** - #techstars

This video sends a message to young students about self-talk and how it's important to be aware of how our thoughts can affect our emotions. I liked what this video had to say, it was appropriate for most ages and it was short and sweet; children like a message that gets to the point quickly and this video does just that.

Josh Heisler - 8Y34 -Sec2 "Sharing Musical Spots" http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=30405&title=Sharing_Musical_Spots

This video is a short clip of some young children playing a simple game and having to co-operate with each other. This is a simple idea that can be played with young children in a physical education class. I recommend this because it gets children moving and working together to stay in the game and to continue having fun.

"Encouraging Teamwork Amongst Students" http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=63038

This video is a short video explaining how to set up a short activity in a group of students to try to get a small ruber ball through each of their pipes, into a bucket. At first, the demonstrator instucts the students to not speak, and try to figure it out, when they have tried it a few times and can not succcessfully get it ito the bucket, she tells the students that they can speak. It is a good excercise becuase it allows the students to work together to solve a problem, both through actions alone and verbally.

"Classroom Rules" []

This video was a short introduction to classroom rules used in a humours way to bring a dry subject area into an area where it engages students and make them want to pay attention. I would use this video at the beginning of a school year as a 'hook' into a day when we are talking about developing classroom rules. I found this video under classroom management and I thought it would be neat to bring in some type of multimedia to make this topic fun and grab students interest and attention.

"We Didn't Start the Fire" http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=1465&title=We_Didn_t_Start_the_Fire

This video was a fun way to get a quick summary of the Cold War period, although it was in a US context. I thought I would recommend it as it provides a fun and animated way to give students an overview of the Cold War, which is often a subject most senior social studies students find rather drab.

Sheila Cartwright EDUC 8Y34 Lab #5 I chose the review the "3D Book Report". Students use PowerPoint to create an object then they print it, cut it out and assemble it as a cube. The 3D Book Report can be used for story lines and timelines. I would use this activity with primary grades in language class. For example, in grade three, there are curriculum expectations focused on students understanding before, during, and after reading a story. The 3D cube could be focused on these inquiries about literature. I would use this as a game with smaller groups or even as a whole class.
