Video Response

I got a lot of the brown bear video. I loved how a kindergarten teacher was able to use technology in her classroom. I would think it would be difficult to have such young students use technology but she made it seem so easy. The thing I was most impressed with, was the fact that she said her english language students loved using the computer too! I am currently working with several ELL students and they also love technology. Sometimes when they don't understand a concept at all we will show them a YouTube video in spanish that explains the concepts and that helps so much. Also, they can figure out computers which makes them feel successful. That was aspect of technology that I have never really thought about before. I see technology used so often and it always makes the students more excited and the lesson a little more exciting!

  1. Brenda,

    Interesting use of YouTube. I used to do something similar with wikipedia when I had a Russian student who didn't speak any English.
