[quote=Anonymous][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." [b]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.[/b][/quote] +1 million. Plus all the research on how reading aloud builds connection between the reader and the listener. We spend all this time on talking about classroom community and let YouTube kill one great way it can be built.[/quote]
