The possibilities of Skype to flatten your classroom are endless. Here are 10 ways to use Skype in your classroom.

Talks about ways to use YouTube in the classroom. It also recommends checking out YouTube EDU (http://www.youtube.com/education) for educational videos.

I learned how to embed a YouTube video in my Google site and I checked out YouTube EDU (www.youtube.com/education).

A useful video about Youtube from Edutopia

I really likes this video when I watched it. Lots of food for thought in one short movie.

This is a great site to look for educational videos. You can choose the topic being taught and then what video you want. I have used this in school several times!!

Thanks for the info. I like how I can choose the topic and what video. Great tool!

This makes sense! Kids that have Facebook write more on a daily basis than they ever have before. It may not be in the correct form because they use shortened versions of words, but at least they are using their minds to form sentences! Kids meet new friends along the way and add them to their network. That's not to say they should be "aware" of who are real friends and who shouldn't be their friends. This article shows that kids have more confidence than they used to! Great article!

Excellent site to use with elementary kids.

I love BrainPop. There are so many useful videos and tools on there.
