  • 4Teachers : Main Page: is an excellent website for teachers to help integrate technology into the classroom by offering online tools and resources. This site helps teachers locate online resources such as ready-to-use Web lessons, quizzes, rubrics and classroom calendars. There are also tools for student use. There are valuable professional development resources addressing issues such as technology planning, and at-risk or special-needs students. This is definitely a website that I will need to save in my favorites!
  • USF Contemporary Literacies Collaborative: This is a website by USF College of Education for Contemporary Literacies Collaborative. This website examines the impact of technological changes and how it affects literate practices. It?s main focus is on new literacies, literacy in new contexts, identity formation, power structures, and the changing set of skills that empower people to communicate. They are interested in how these contemporary literacies can be brought back into the classroom to engage students and to prepare them for happy, productive, literate lives. There are also inactive links such as, making movies and going green. I definitly would use this as site for resources or reference.
  • TeacherTube Videos - Cry Me a Verb: This video is for high school students studying Spanish. To fully understand or appreciate this video, a background in the Spanish language would be helpful. The author takes a song from Justin Timberlake, ?Cry Me a River? and changes the words to ?Cry Me a Verb.? He goes on to sing about how to conjugate present tense verbs in each form. He sings of all the different types of verbs, /-ar/, /-er/, /-ir/ and irregular verbs and how they become conjugated. I really appreciated it because I have a minor in Spanish. I would show this to high school students in a Spanish language classroom.
  • TeacherTube Videos - ShiftHappens: Wow, what a great video! It is about 7 minutes long and the title is Shift Happens. It starts out with a U2 song, ?It?s a Beautiful Day? and the viewer is required to read all the facts about how fast technology is really changing. We are preparing students for jobs that don?t exist yet to solve problems that are unknown right now. Students will start a program in college and halfway through their program, the job might not even exist anymore! It is definitely worth watching, a real eye-opener and quite moving and thought-provok ing!
  • TeacherTube Videos - Water Cycle Song: This was a cute song about the water cycle. The singer sang the song twice. I liked the words to the song, and the words were displayed in the video so the audience could sing along the second time. Also, when they sang about precipitation, the words fell from the top and the same for evaporation, the words came up from the bottom. So, I liked that part. However, I am more of a visual person, so it would have been nice to have seen the actual flow of the water cycle and include the rivers and lakes and arrows and such that shows the flow of things. I think I would use it because it would be beneficial to my students that are auditory learners.
  • TeacherTube Videos - 9 Multiplication Tables HipHop Music Video: Wow! Totally, not what I was expecting! I thought there would be a song to help students memorize their multiplication by 9?s. The video was filmed in a gymnasium and there was a teacher with students doing a hip hop dance in the background. I think that they rapped more about how they were ?ready? instead of the actual math facts. I would never show this to my students?. Interesting, very interesting? I would like to know which school this teacher works at!
  • TeacherTube Videos - Be Kind to Your Erasers: This one was kind of weird. The narrator was a finger puppet with a human mouth that really spoke (how she did that, I don?t know). The finger puppet was a teacher and she had rules, such as, ?Don?t point your finger, and be kind to erasers.? The erasers were the ones that went on the top of the pencil. One day the students didn?t listen and they stabbed holes, ripped, and colored on the erasers. So, the erasers got mad and turned evil. They went around to the Art room and started erasing everything. I can see the point in the story, because students destroy those types of erasers by tearing them, coloring on them, etc. However, I didn?t like some of the terminology this video used, such as ?evil? and ?stabbed.? But, that could just be my view because I am an early childhood educator.
