Navigating Teacher Tube

Wow, this was so easy to link to my blog! Amazing! I was wonder though, how I could embeded the whole video so people would just have to press the play button. I have seen this on other blogs and really like it. I'll have to play around with it.

Actually, I should use You Tube or Teacher Tube to find out how to do this! In one of my classes, I wanted to embeded a YouTube video in a PowerPoint and so I searched how to do this on You Tube and someone showed me thru their posted YouTube video tutorial on how do it in three minutes! At the time, I remember thinking I was using YouTube to learn how to use YouTube! So surreal!

I just found the ass video button on the task bar above.....gotta figure out how that works and what it'll do.

These is a very cool video by a history teacher in NY and he has many others simliar to it on TeacherTube.He uses visuals and mnumonic devices to help kids study for the Regents exams but these could be shown in any US History class. What a great way to get kids attention and have them learn something they will likely remember becasue this teacher's presentation is so memorable.

I have no idea how to get rid of this yellow highlighter on the text above!

  2. You should be able to edit that in your dashboard. Of course, it might catch the attention of your student population and cause them to want to take a closer look at video. (As if they need an excuse!)
