Tool #8

Teacher tube is awesome. I am going to share this with others who aren't taking this course. What a great resource for teachers and students.

I chose two videos. The first is a version of Brown Bear, Brown Bear that first grade students created and narrated called Reindeer, Reindeer, What Do You See? What a great way to move beyond the knowledge and comprehension stages and have students extend new learing by creating their own book and using technology to represent their work. I loved that each student recorded their own voice to narrate the story. I can see PK students loving this activity and parents.

The second video is about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly. I loved that it was a short video long enough for PK students and that is showed the actual stages of the butterfly. I had never seen it shown that way before so I know the students will love it!
