[quote=Anonymous]It's happening everywhere and as a teacher it disturbs me so much. I don't see any training reminding teachers of how to vet a source, when to use it, why, etc. It's a free-for-all with technology. I use brief clips to show something I can't--what a wolf howl sounds like, how an octopus shoots ink, a quick video about an important Virginian when there are no books suitable, etc. But 20 years ago I was taught "no video longer than 5 minutes, and it must have a purpose." The read aloud videos rally grate on me. Our schools have great libraries and interlibrary loan systems. There's no reason to use a video, which is so much less engaging and instructive.[/quote]
