Thing 20

I absolutely love Youtube! It's such an easy website to search for and watch videos that interest you. Most times I watch music videos for funny videos or news stories that interest me. I found this video about the roles teachers can play in students lives. It made me a little emotional to think about the impact I could have on a student's life by encouraging them and that is what makes me look forward to becoming a teacher!



This video is about the importance of teachers knowing how to use the Internet because it is the future; it's not just a fad. I thought it went along perfectly with our instructional technology class, plus the little boy in it is pretty adorable!



I also explored Teacher Tube. Both of these websites could be used in the classroom to show video clips or something that could enhance the lesson. I've had several teachers in the past do this. It's refreshing to watch a video occasionally instead of just listening to a lecture, plus there are a lot of great educational videos out there!
