YouTube and Teacher Tube have a lot of really cool videos that could be used in the classroom. It is pretty easy to find clips that illustrate concepts or ideas.
Here is one that demonstrates a Magnet shooter by a kindergartner.
Here is a nice photostory from Teacher Tube about the national symbols.
I also saw videos of people reading stories, books, singing songs, explaining concepts either to the teacher or to the students.
A lot of really talented people out there. If people in our district create these we need to be sure to spread the word. One of the problems I have here at home is annoying and very hard to watch. Sometimes the second time is faster but not always. Will it down load faster at school?
But I do think they are very useful in teaching. Older kids could have this as a product choice. Those who like this kind of thing would have a ball. I know my oldest niece would have!!

Remember, fast or not, you can't load youTube at school because it is blocked...if you use ZamZar and convert the youtube to wmv then it will load!
What a great videos you chose. Getting ready for the fall? We need to make more of those for the science and social studies. Are you planing to keep your blog during the school year?
I am ...we will see :)
