Thing 9 and Thing 10 Video

I love U Tube and I'm so glad it isn't blocked in our district. The students use it extensively for research and presentations, even at the middle school level. Most recently, the sixth grades were creating power points on unsolved mysteries. U Tube is absolutely perfect for that goofy topic, e.g., Bigfoot, etc. I've been meaning to share the following with the REMC group:

My post suggested "password" be added as a tag, I always have such a hard time finding this video!

Since I already had a Google account, I should have been able to link the two accounts instead of creating yet another account with another password. However, that didn't work. Bummer.

I watched this very well done video that came across on my MAME listserve from a home-schooler comparing public libraries and school (libraries.) He made several valid points. I suspect, however, he had some collaboration. When I viewed his other posts, they were just rants about random things.

This didn't seem to work. I think there's a step missing. I thought it would end up on my desktop, but it didn't.
Then I tried zamzar, which I have used to convert files students create at home in, for example, "works." Now I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for the file to arrive in my e-mail. OK, it finally arrived, but I don't know how to get it into the blog. At any rate, watch the video, it's pretty powerful.

  1. That video is hysterical, but oh so true! Browsing the internet could be a full-time job. Time I used to spend in the evenings reading books is now spent keeping up with all my internet goings-on...
