There are so many resources available! With the use of the new ActivBoards in our district these videos can be used in the classroom as "hooks" to start a lesson, as visual reinforcement of information being discussed or even as a primary means of distributing (at times) the desired information. In this day and age when students are addicted to the internet and TV, this is a way to bring education to them. The plethora of videos available would also come in handy when we discuss current events where traditional methods such as books and newspapers may not have yet caught up to the story - the internet most likely will beat them to the punch and TADA! We have resources to use in the classroom. Up to date, new and constantly expanding. The clip I chose is of Picasso...our textbook in foreign language uses famous Spanish speaking artists and their works at the beginning of each chapter as introductions. I really enjoy sharing what I know about the life and times of the artist when I discuss the art and I like to show other works. This clip would be a perfect example of something I could show at the beginning of a new chapter with work by Picasso.
