Oh, I could see great possibilities here. Adding on a video that I want students to watch and reflect on at home. I could also use a video to give students an idea of what they could do if I were to give them a "make-a-video-about-this-topic" assignment. Here is one:
Students love this type of thing- and get really excited when they know we will be doing something similar in class. It is a great "hook" for a unit on chemical change.
Here is a video from SchoolTube. I could use this in my class to help reinforce physical/chemical change. I could then direct students to make their own video at home.
I used keevid to download this video on Pangaea: From here, I could ask a set of questions about what type of evidence do we have for Pangaea, based on the movie and what we have talked about in class.
I am wondering if I can do all of this in our school-supported "moodle" site. I have yet to explore how to use this. I am very interested in doing a classroom blog this year and have parents RSS feed into it- as well as students. I can see so many opportunities- it will be hard to pick out what to focus on!
