Thing 21 You Tuge

There are so many exciting online informational resources for all sorts of purposes. In trying to catch up on a particular show that you missed of a serial, the television network will allow you to watch it,

Cathy Schrock's website has been an endless source of teacher assists including crosswork puzzle maker and lesson plans in all subject areas.

My most recent favorite one is You Tube and our Principal has used clips from it as inspirational pieces at a teacher's meetings. One in particular was to remind us that all students have gifts that need opening and that is our job. He used the British talent show piece on the cell phone salesman who was a little chubby, his teeth were definitely in need of some dental redoing for their going in all sorts of directions and he was admittedly self-conscious in even introducing what he was intending to do for his talent: opera singing. But when he opened his mouth, his looks were gone and all that was there was incredible passion and talent that took the audience to their feet and the most synical of the judges to a warm and uncharacteristically enthusiastic response.

Even Channel 5 news has all sorts of tech tidbits and that and all the rest of the things that they broadcast can be accessed on their website on "as seen on Channel 5 news" and if you write and ask for help in locating a piece you were curious about, they are very personable and helpful in getting you linked.
