Week 7, Thing 16

YouTube: I have used it in the past mostly for entertainment, but found a few clips to use in the classroom. I found a few to help students learn about fractions in math, and I will be showing them next week in class.

Week 6, Thing 15

I have used Movie Maker with my students in the past. They have researched about the Revolutionary War and written a paper on their chosen topic from that period. After they have finished their papers, they create movies using Movie Maker to explain what life might be like if their topic had not happened or had happened differently. It is fun to watch them make connections to today's world in relationship to the past.
