Thing 9

I am a HUGE fan of YouTube. I use at my school during my Fun Fridays. The students are allowed to ask me to search for their favorite songs and I will select a few videos to play. The students' favorite one is at: http://www.jkweddingdance.com it is wonderful! Mostly likely because all the teachers will dance to this one.

YouTube is not really used in my building at a teaching tool. We really rely on it as a reward for positive behavior. We have limited assess (15 minute blocks of time) on the site. Therefore, I could see why teachers would not want to plan lessons around a feed.

I did find some wonderful sites for teaching the one that really jumped out to me was the on "Women in Art". I just thought that would be a great introduction lesson into your art program!

Well please click on the above youtube link and let me know what you thought! Enjoy the video!

  1. I just saw that video a few weeks ago...it is so awesome! would have loved to do something that creative at my wedding! So you can only use it 15 minutes at a time? Does it actually cut you off after 15 minutes, or that is just the rule you are suppoesd to follow?
