[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and I only show a book being read on YouTube when I can’t get a physical copy of the book. I’ve been teaching for years so I’ve accumulated a lot of books but sometimes the school library or other teachers at my school don’t have the book I need. [/quote]

OP here. My DC says her teachers primarily show videos of books versus reading physical copies.

And frankly, the book we read this morning is cool, but by no means so special that it NEEDED to be taught versus reading the physical books that are available.[/quote]

Ask them why. It’s probably because they don’t have the physical book. I also do it when the book is tiny. My doc camera is dead so I can’t show the pictures. [/quote]

There is a media center full of books at the school. There are books. And the books I am hearing about don't seem so special that they can't be substituted with different ones.

I'm stunned you think this is defensible.[/quote]

I am stunned you can’t understand there might be reasons the teacher does this. Our media center doesn’t have every book I need to read and if it’s seasonal, they are often not available at the public library.

But if you think you’re kid’s teacher is doing it because she’s lazy, be sure to tell her that you would like to either sign an opt out form for tech or offer to buy the books she needs. [/quote]

You are really digging in on showing videos to kids in classrooms while you are paid to teach

You don't need to have the perfect book for every season. Showing a video of the perfect book is not better than reading a different book. It is far worse.[/quote]
