Tool 8: Video Resources

I chose a video with Traci Dison onboard the International SpaceStation speaking on the importance of education with math and science. I chose this because our students continue to find it difficult to integrate the diciplines. If science is in math, they respond, "I thought we were doing math" ... and if graphs are in science, the kids ask Mr. Glover, "Why is there math in science class.

The videos would not load. :(

The second video is Pa Kettle Teaches Math because it is so "today". This is what we deal with daily and it's just funny.

Videos are great as sets and can get the students thinking prior to the lesson. I have used them as a mini lesson also but you have to be careful with this component, perhaps just a segment of the lesson.
