Thing #9: Streaming Videos

Away with buying DVDs- we now have streaming videos-how neat to have so much curriculum just a click away! I have heard of united streaming videos from my colleagues, Kathy Herrema-Johnson and Linda Wise, but I thought we had to take a class to use it. Linda helped me submit an email for a username and password and within minutes, I was on my way looking through streaming videos!

I found a video about the trials of Nazi perpetrators during the Holocaust- I know that students have heard of the Nuremberg Trials but they haven't heard of the American trials in Dachau. It was only 20 minutes long which was perfect for class discussions afterwards. If I can post this video on my blog or urban planet website- I'll try!

I feel so enriched by all the technology available ! After 9 years of teaching I've never felt better about how I teach, what I teach and how to use technology in the classroom! Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to participate in this program-
MILP has converted me to use a variety of technology in the classroom-
