Thing 21

I have embedded many youtube videos on to my blog that are especially useful in social studies. We are now teaching Michigan history in third grade and I have found many useful and many not so useful youtube videos. In particular I found many on logging, mining, and the potawantomi Indians. The students in my class get very excited just at the prospect of a youtube video, the idea of using it in the classroom appeals to them. I have encountered many problems of having it blocked but I was able to have our technology person temporarily unblock it on my computer. It is very nice to know that it can still be utilized if it is blocked by going through sites suck as keepvid.com.
