Integrating Technology in the Classroom
I chose this video because I am familiar with the interactive white board and I will use it in my classroom. I like that this video showed how different grade levels utilized it and how to integrate it in different ways.
Integrating the videos and different things through the SMART Board can create obstacles because you have to be careful of what you show your students before you let them view it. Getting You Tube videos are not always what you think they will be.

I couldn't agree more from the statement about suprises in youtube videos. Luckily my kids know the difference from right and wrong. My daughters are always getting onto me for saying the wrong thing.
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteVery true, You tube videos may not be what you think it will be. Therefore it is important for teachers to check and make sure the video they are using for their lesson is appropriate for the children.
Butch and Amy,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't imagine showing a video or listenting to a podcast without viewing or listening to it first, but I have known teachers to do it. I mean you have to be prepaired that is what planning is for.Why show it or use it if you havn't even expeirneced it yourself. That is a combination for failure if you ask me.
Its amazing how many youtube videos you can find, whether is for integrating technology, to finding videos of your topic, to music videos, to explanation videos on how to do something as well. Technology now is so much more useful then it was 20 yrs ago when teachers where writing on and overhead to explain a lesson or question asked.
