An interesting video about how social and digital people are now a days. This video was made to explain the importance of internet advertising to marketers, but there's application to teachers too as we try to understand our students' worlds.
Decent video tutorial on how to create a virtual tour with Google Earth. Cool idea for social studies students, or perhaps when studying famous literary authors and landmarks.
Great example of what I think is a student video project on the Giver. An example of how video projects can be used to show student understanding of a book's themes.
A good example of a social studies video project from Brittany. The music gets too loud and distracting at one point, but if the audio was improved, I like how she gave a good analysis of a social studies topic and then showed good examples.
I first came accross this in the BYU Museum of Art. The plaque described the artist as "is a video and electronic media artist who critiques popular media genres by humorously subverting their intended messages and exposing our engagement with their often juvenile content...The artist presents us with a voyeuristic world in which alternative personas can be digitally appropriated. His work poses the question: Can one find meaningful relationships
in a virtual world?" Besides being an example of using technology to create art, I like the questions it raises. Do you think that technology can replace meaningful interactions?
I love videos! Even students who do not claim to be "visual learners" enjoy a video because it keeps their attention and helps them remember the information they are viewing. I have used this website multiple times when teaching lessons in various schools and they have always gone over well. Plus, not only is it a great resource, but it is also allowed in internet filters. YouTube, on the other hand, is blocked in the majority of schools.
