Thing 9

I was already had a YouTube account prior to this "Thing".  I am an addict!  Talk about just sitting down for HOURS and searching through the videos.  I have even found some that my students were in...very entertaining to say the least.  Thankfully none of them were incriminating! Unfortunately the Dearborn School district restricts the use of YouTube on all the computers.  I understand the reasoning behind it, however there are so many Spanish content related videos that I would love to show with just a click of my mouse.  To use YouTube in the classroom, I have had to go about it the long way...  I have downloaded a few Spanish music videos from YouTube at home and brought them in via a thumb drive to show my classes.  They think this is so cool - because after studying and singing to the songs, they can see the visual interpretation as well.  I just can't say enough about YouTube...  There are so many great ideas for teachers, not to mention ways to enhance the curriculum - it's awesome!
