Upload videos and keep them private, share them with a few, or make them public. Gives viewers ability to comment at specific spots as the video plays. Comments can be text or video. Videos can be embedded and can be deleted by you. Webcams can be used to create instant videos.

Students could use these fingerpuppets to create political commentary videos, political commercials, or hold their own debates. I know it is a stretch, but it looks like so much fun. Be sure to check out a few of the videos already posted on YouTube :) p

This is a video that can be played for classes of various sizes, as it captivates your attention with relevant examples and graphics. The teacher on the video takes you through each step in the process of converting fractions to decimals in a way that is easy to understand and relate to. The pictures that are used are very current (Michael Phelps, Barack Obama, etc.), making it even more fun. Independent practice and extension activities could be easily planned after watching.

Video podcasts suggesting ways for teachers to teach Math concepts. Similar to Common Craft technique of using whiteboard. It might be interesting to have students create their own video podcasts to explain a concept for their classmates. [At times confusing as to who their audience is supposed to be.]

This is a very informative video on place value. It takes the students through several relative scenarios and does a great job explaining why it's important to know that a digit's value is based on its position in a number. The video is easy to stop and start, and it would be helpful to students if shown on a mainstream classroom projection system (or in a computer lab, if need be).

Kids Science News Network: Short science videos and lessons to explain science, technology, engineering, Math,and NASA concepts. Newsbreaks are animated for K-2 and 3-5 has real kids in short news break type videos answering questions kids ask.

This site features many interactive learning and design tools for teachers and lots of ideas and examples for integrating technology. 4Teachers features professional development, educational video games, success stories, and a videos channel. It also has links to a "Family of Tools" including QuizStar, RubiStar, Academic Skill Builders, PersuadeStar, Equity, TrackStar, Assign-A-Day, Casa Notes, PBL Checklists, Teacher Tacklebox, Web Poster Wizard, NoteStar, Think Tank, and KidsVid. There are also assessment resources available.

This lesson plan--sure to be popular!--asks students to participate in a debate on whether video games help with literacy, based on a NYTimes article by Motoko Rich. This lesson allows kids to be reflective and analyze the differences between media beyond the debate question itself.

video presentations of math lessons

Hundreds of articles, expert interviews, research, and resources highlighting success stories in K-12 education. Short videos provide case studies in technology integration, project-based learning, emotional intelligence, teacher preparation, assessment and more." /> metatext/html; charset=utf-8

Includes information and videos on many science and nature topics including space, dinosaurs, etc. Great to use in the classroom for my space unit where students were studying the solar system.

Using videos to look at parabolas.

Students began by studying biomes then divided into groups of five. Each student in the group drew one of the five major biomes. Using books, cds, and the internet they had to find out the physical features, wildlife, vegetation, climate, and problems confronting their biome. Each person in the group contributed information, video footage taken at the zoo or aquarium, and additional graphics when needed to teach others about their chosen biome. The project was put together in iMovie and shared with all students in the class.

Students select a special place that is important to them then take on the roll of a park ranger and through photographs and narration in a short video (which will be turned into an enhanced podcast) explain why this place is special to them, what is unique about it, what are its main features, its history, and what people need to do to help preserve it for the future.

Students use digital still or video cameras to find examples around their school representing facts and opinions. They create an iMovie, sometimes with voiceover, to clearly show their understanding of the two concepts.

Document cameras, also known as "visual presenters," are electronic presentation tools teachers and instructional technologists use to display anything from documents and drawings to 3-D renderings and other objects that cannot be displayed on a standard overhead projector. Through the use of a megapixel sensor camera (instead of a set of mirrors and light tables), images can be displayed on an interactive whiteboard or overhead screen just by placing the item on the presenter, therefore eliminating the need for transparencies. Most models also offer the ability to interface with other electronic media in order to display digital images and video.

These videos, provided by the Apple Learning Interchange, provide a short snippet about a particular topic (in this case, the changes humans cause on animal habitats) and then launch into a multifaceted lesson. Teachers have a purpose, learning activities, resources, and examples of student projects to use to guide them through the provided lessons. Standards are clearly represented through an "Evidence of Learning" section (with rubrics) as well as NETS and 21st Century Learning Skills Alignments sections. Teachers can use many available photos and interviews during the lesson, as well.

BrainPop is a highly-regarded, Flash-based video site that offers an array of movies on all kinds of curricular topics covered during the school year. This particular site provides the framework for a teacher to teach a lesson on animal habitats. Beyond just watching the movie and answering the quiz questions, the educator site gives the objectives, materials, preparation, lesson procedures, vocabulary, and extension activities to do with the students. You will have to create a free educator account to gain access to this page.
