Thing # 18

During my scavenger hunt, I found two interesting videos relating to special education. One was on inclusion and the other was about a career in special education working with severely challenged kids. They were both very informative. The inclusion video was especially helpful because our campus is moving toward inclusion next school year. I've added my favorite You Tube video for fun: Bon Qui Qui at King Burger. Watch below and enjoy. I found Teacher Tube to be a great source to be used in the classroom. Kids seem to pay so much more attention to video/computer and several of the videos I explored like Animals in the Rainforest, Ocean Currents, and From an F to an A (kid production) were very interesting and captivating. I'm sure kids would really enjoy viewing videos or short clips as an alternative to the old textbook! And...it's a great idea for those kids whose reading skills are lacking or maybe learn better with visuals :-)
