Thing # 18

YouTube is an amusing adventure...I viewed several short videos about teaching writing. They all had the same woman in the same outfit and she proclaims to know everything in the world obviously! She says she is with Young Writers Wrokshop.com group, a group in India. Interesting, but not very worthwhile. I also watched a video on how to peel hard boiled eggs...fascinating!I visited teacher tube and watched a hilarious but informational video on how NOT to do a power point presentation.I truly can see some advantages to using teacher tube for education. Teachers could videotape presentations for students who were absent or needed to hear the presentation or parts of it again. And I really see potential for staff development on short topics...how to administer TPRI,teaching for fluency, etc. Now I'll just have to learn how to make one.
