I found that all of the sites were very easy to use with the exception of Clip blast. I was not able to access that one here at school as it was blocked. I am still working on getting access. I was very impressed with the number of math videos on Next vista. I spent a lot of time searching through the light bulbs and global views sections. I know I will be able to use some of the videos for my Global Studies class. Also with all of the math videos since I am in the Resource room and have to help students with so different topics I can just do a search on how to do a problem and then I will be able to help my students.
I was very impressed with TeacherTube, I didn't know it existed! What a fun way to introduce a new topic. Loved the perimeter and area rap! As for YouTube, I know there are many wonderful things on it, I am just a little concerned with my highschool kids having access to anything on there. Even some of the postings have inappropriate language. Maybe they don't have access to everything on it, only the ones I found but I an just a little worried. I guess if teachers only showed videos then there wouldn't be as much of a concern.
Technology is changing the way we are teaching, talk about tapping in to all of the senses!!
