A great film concerning how teachers can understand culture and how to reach them the best way.
I chose this because many in our classes and teachers need to understand cultural diversity including socioeconomic, religious, or cultural/racial background
This is a lesson about spiders-using cross-curriculum techniques and technology researching.
I chose this video because it shows a variety of way students used technology, books, and projects to learn all about spiders.
This video concerns setting up a virtual economy in which the students understand goods and services using money. It is cross-curriculum and uses math, reading, and social studies.
I picked this video because as first grade teachers, we have a problem with them to understand goods and services (economics). This is a fun way for them to put this more abstract objective into real world practice.
Integrating technology to set up vocabulary and pronounce vocabulary along with the program.
This is a neat way to integrate technology (especially vocabulary), while giving students the ability to practice and hear it on their own. This is wonderful to use in small groups, especially for those that might not be able to go home and study their vocabulary wit their families.
Video about Kindergarten students who are able to do a presentation on endangered animals. They did their filming, added vocabulary definitions, and created a powerpoint.
I picked this video, because it is something I would like to do in my own room. This activity is very student centered and I believe they would get a lot out of it-helping them to retain the information and have fun at the same time.
