I just read and looked over an article from “Successful Teaching” in my reader. The article was about “20 Places to Find Curriculum Ideas and lesson plans online.” The author gives 20 sites that are good for teachers to explore over the summer. One site I looked at was PBS Teachers. At the Social Studies convention this year that I attended, I went to a seminar about using more PBS in the classroom, so this Successful Teaching Article made me remember to look up the number my school is registered under and use it to explore short videos for generating good discussions in the classroom. I looked at a short clip on “digital trash” which would be an excellent video to show that I know would generate good discussion. I looked at another site call “Shnoop” that also looked interesting, and it had some good topics about ancient history. Now I know I will remember to start using more PBS in my classroom since I saw so many good videos on the website.
