11.5 - thing 7 (tv sourcecs, hulu)

i wish i would have known about these when i was still in the classroom!

the first site i checked out was the national archives video collection. these videos would have added a lot to my lessons in social studies.

this video (i tried to convert it on zamzar but it keeps telling me that i have no file extension??) talks about the great depression. i think more students would grasp concepts if they could see primary source examples and not just read about it in a text book.

i also watched the tornado video on blip.tv. it was interesting to see how a tornado is formed. however the video had a very adult ad at the bottom, not sure i would use this in a classroom for fear that another one would show up.
