Week 9 Evidence of Learning: Exploring TeacherTube

Having never used TeacherTube before, I opened an account and spent some time exploring it and thinking about what videos I would actually be able to use right now. I focused on the module that I updated most recently, the English 10 novel study on To Kill a Mockingbird. I found one video that I would like to use in my online course; in fact, I think it's better suited to an online course than in a classroom. It's similar to a theatrical trailer, and students can watch it to get a taste of what they're about to read: http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=158905&title=To_Kill_A_Mockingbird&ref=Dianaliao

There was another one that I really liked, but unfortunately was full of spelling and grammatical errors. It gave me some ideas for future assignments though!

Though this video, found at http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=24266&title=Mr_Duey___Fractions_Official_Video&ref=Dianaliao, has nothing to do with my English courses, I still wanted to share it. It's so funny and inspirational! I just love that this teacher has been so creative and taken the time to make this video. I'm going to share it with the math teachers at my school!
