YouTube

Since I am currently not a teacher, I have decided to find four You Tube posts for different purposes.

The first one that I choose was about a webquest. I am currently taking a course about webquests, so I found one that is very helpful for setting one up. A webquest is something that could be very helpful to a teacher wanting to incorportate some new ways of teaching. A webquest is fun for students, incorporates technology, and will meet learning goals as set up by the teacher.

The next post that I found helpful would be for a science teacher. This particular post is about the five states of matter. This would be beneficial for the teacher to give them a break and allow the children to hear a different voice. Also, the student could come back and listen again at home while studying for a test. This would meet the science learning goal.

The third search that I did was for something that could be useful for my pastor. I searched for someone that I know she enjoyed listening to. Then I found a subject that I that she would enjoy teaching on. She could now go to this post and use it along with her teaching to enhance it and keep peoples attention.

The last one that I found would be useful for our daycare director at our church daycare. It offers lessons for teaching music. She could view this and have her workers view it also, then teach this music lesson. It is so much easier to hear a song and see it being preformed, then to read it out of a music book, and try to guess the exact tune. I think that she would find this very beneficial in a lot of subject areas.
