As usual, I found a different way to upload some YouTube clips into my blog. And now that I'm actually writing the blog, I see the Edit Html feature. Oh well. I like the way I happened upon, as it gives you a few different videos to see. I've seen a couple of these before and they're very powerful, the 3rd one makes me cry every time. The second one is a great little clip about adults with autism in the work field. I worked with this age group a long time ago, and the adults I worked with were very low functioning (meaning some even functioned as a 3 year old, when their chronological age wasa 21!). Be aware of the last clip. I finally watched it all the way through and one of the last frames in her clip is a bit abrupt. Not a huge fan of this one anyways, but can't figure out how to choose which clips go on....I'll have to keep playing.
As far as the podcast that I have chosen to put into my RSS, it's a toddler craft podcast. I figured I could use it in school and at home. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone! I found the itunes site a bit confusing at first, and ended up getting my podcast through Podcastalley.com.
The E-Books is a great idea. In looking for a book to use in my class, I was having a hard time. I am limited in what I can use in my class and couldn't find any of the children books I was looking for. I am great for going completely blank when I have to enter in information, unless I have heard of something specific I would like (and this isn't just limited to books....it's all the time! I live on sticky notes.) It seems like it would be a great resource for the middle and high school levels.

I had the same problem! I couldn't think of anything to look for in the podcasts and drew a blank about what books I read or even own.
ReplyDeleteThe first video is very moving. I dared not move on to your other ones without a kleenex box nearby.
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time generating ideas about what to search for, as well. I think that now that I know this stuff is here, I can search these sites when I know what I am actually looking for:)
