Useful YouTube/ Teaching Chanel Resources

One of the easiest ways to find great supplemental material via video is through the use of YouTube and Teaching Chanel.  Use the hyperlinks below for access to each respective site.

YouTube
 From examples of other student work, story readings, creative attempts at providing visuals for literature and writing, to demonstration videos, YouTube is a Pandora's box of goodies; however, with the liberty to post/ publish one's work at will comes the nuisance of people of less regard for appropriateness.  Let this not be a deterrent for using YouTube as a invaluable tool.

One of my favorite videos that I have pulled from YouTube concerns a very progressive biography of William Shakespeare titled "Shakespeare Brief and Naughty."











Another favorite YouTube pick for me is the dramatic reading of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe performed by Christopher Walken.













Teaching Chanel
Teaching Chanel is where I go when I need some new ideas for teaching strategies, current news on upcoming educational policies and standards, and resources for professional development.  This web source has been extremely helpful and continues to stay relevant with changes in education.

This video demonstrates the fishbowl method in terms of discussing text and providing differentiation for a group of high school students.
