blog: week 12

As I visited The Teachers domain, I realized that it has a lot of great ideas and programs about history and discovery. The videos were very clear and easy to understand. Its a great idea to put these topics on audio and video because they are more interesting to watch. Students dont fully understand this type of information unless they can see it.

I watched a Space Science video on the Earth and the enormous amounts of life on Earth. This is rare since Earth is the only place in the solar system with life on it. I know that this would be a great tool for me as a teacher because it would allow for different learning styles for my students. It would be much more fun and interesting if I could show my students videos instead of reading from a textbook.

I would definately take part in The Teachers Domain and include its materials in my everyday teaching. Hopefully, I could tie in a video with most every lesson. I know that these concepts are hard to grasp without a visual, so I know these videos would be great!
