Thing #18

I have already used both You Tube and Teacher Tube in my class. It is a great source for me, I teach World Geography. I can show the students what a country really looks like. The students feel disconnected with places they are studying because all they see is a picture or two in the book and then they have to read about it. Showing them puts them there. For example we are studying Latin America so I found a Discovery Education video on Peru to show them. Also one on Ecuador.
I found a personal how to video showing me how to trade stocks on-line. Don't know if I really trust it but I am going to follow it for a while to see if the guy really knows what he is talking about.
