More Things #4 - Video Hosting

Seems easy. I have used TeacherTube before. Here is an example of a video I DOWNloaded to show on my Activboard. It's a great attention getter when you are trying to grab 7th graders attention in a math lab. Even in 7th grade some kids don't know their math facts. It would be fun to have them make math fact raps and upload them to YouTube or TeacherTube. I used to do all kinds of songs and chants in 5th grade but the 7th graders don't seem so excited about it, unfortunately. I found one high school example of a FACT RAP. I'll post it below also. I'm also teaching theater next year so I'm sure there are many more applications for videos in that class. Now, I just need a video camera!
