Here are some terrific finds for the end of the school year.
1. A fabulous listing of fake web sites, hoax photos, etc. The best being a site warning of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide (also known as water).
2. Snag Films
Can’t remember where I found this but you can watch documentaries on this site for free. I particularly recommend Run Granny Run which was a really touching film about an 80+ year old woman who runs for senate. Very inspiring.
3. Alec Couros’s list of 80 great Youtube movies for teaching media literacy just got a little longer.
4. And create your own video sharing site for free using Fliggo which I’ve posted about before.
List-y deliciousness! Thanks
Thanks for the great suggestion of 80 great u tubes to show students at the end of the year….when they really don’t want to do anything. I will plan to use that next year.
@Joan,
I’m glad you like the list. Also consider using the videos as a part of your curriculum and not just as fluff at the end of the year.
I’ve used the H20 (water) hoax site to teach students the pitfalls of web research. Thanks to our CTAP technology instructional grant, teachers in Nor Cal got a nice dose of quality instruction in the like. Based upon these fake web sites, I developed a nice list of logical fallacies at http://penningtonpublishing.com/blog/reading/the-top-15-errors-in-reasoning/
I know you teach little ones; however, some may be beneficial/adaptable.
