Thing 9. Streaming Video

I am all signed up for United Streaming and am marveling at the plethora of available videos! I will definitely be showing them when I am absent at training sessions and to enhance my curriculum. WOW! What a great tool!

Thing 8. Dribbling Lessons for Information Literacy

Wow, these dribbling lessons are definitely something to use in the classroom. I hope to use my first one on Friday along with the RPC. Wish me luck!

Thing 21. YouTube and More

I have directed some of my students to YouTube for their research projects. I find it especially effective for students with learning disabilities who learn easier through visual aids rather than reading, especially off of a computer screen. It is exciting to be able to show a student how to use it for educational purposes and a little bit fun when I approach them and they think that I am going to yell at them for being on the YouTube site but instead show them all of the good stuff on there!

Anticipations of the RPC

On Friday I will introduce the RPC to my students so that they can use it to help them with their History Day Projects. I am really impressed that the PRC does such a great job of having very practical goals and deadlines. The correspond exactly with the demands of the project and the assignments that I will grade for the project. I will keep you all posted on how the students react to the RPC!
