Thing 20


Youtube has become an essential part of many classrooms because you can find videos on nearly ANYTHING. You can search historical documentaries, nature videos, or just informational videos on whatever you are currently studying. I chose the video that I did because I am currently studying Special Education and Autism is such a large part of that. The video attached above is about a family learning how to raise their son with autism and the struggles and wonderful moments they go through. I always find these videos touching, inspirational, and educational. The components to this website are very user-friendly (which by this point you should know is very important to me) and as a teacher, you can create an account and add videos to it that you want to share with your class. 

Masher is a website where you can create videos by mixing photos, videos, music, and text. This could be great in the classroom because you can assign a project to your students to take pictures of their family and life and create a video and put it to music to present to the class as a beginning of the year get-to-know you project. Also, you could assign students to work in groups and gather videos and pictures of historical events or science subject and then create a video that they can add informational text to.
