Thoughts About Tool #8



I really like Blinkx "wall it" option because if I were to set up a class website, I could create a "collage" of videos that pertain to the week's lessons. These could also be accessed from home as a review to answer every parents quetsion of, "So, what did you learn today?" These video clips are about the Scientific Method and Monarch Butterfly Metamorphosis.

I was unable to access Hulu... the blue district website popped up saying the site was restricted. I wouldn't use this in the classroom if I couldn't guarantee it would work!

I already use videos a lot in my classroom because I feel students retain the information better if they get it in formats they are familiar with (like it or not, our students watch a lot of TV so this is pretty accessible to them!).

  1. Hulu was restricted by the district AFTER we started this program! We are disappointed, but understand we must share the resources (bandwidthin this case) with other needs in the district!
