Videos

I knew at the beginning of the term what tutorial video I was going to use. I was introduced to a presentation site and I love it. The possibilities are endless with this site. PREZI is the name of the site, there are actually 2 videos I want to show with this the first one shows what it can do the second one will show how to complete it.
What is can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gCmL0P5RNA&feature=related

How to do it:

The other video I chose was a video of a teacher who pretends to be dead for a day and allows a student to be in charge of the whole day. I have mixed feelings about this. I think the idea a good idea, I don't know about the whole day idea though. I think it is good because it allows children to see each individual as a leader and team member. Criticism will be less because each child will be given the same opportunity and will surely see it is a lot harder than it looks. I hope you enjoy my selection. http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=173646&title=A_Day_Without_the_Teacher

  1. Wow. I love the pretending to be dead for a day! Although I think I'd just pretend to be absent. haha. That experiment could really go wrong and I definitely think you have to consider the type of class you have, the community you've developed in your classroom, as well as the grade level you are working with.
