Last week in Twitter I posted a fun Youtube video that I hope you checked out. Sometimes if there are an extra few minutes at the end of class or even during transition time at the beginning of class, I like to surprise students with a fun Youtube video that I can pull up and show on the overhead. It can be a fun educational video like How a Bill Becomes a Law or just one to make them smile and laugh.
When I find a Youtube video that makes me laugh I usually write it down and keep it in my "back pocket" until I find a good time to share it with students. Videos that intrigue students (like the Ok Go music video) or brighten their mood (Coke Happiness Machine) can not only capture their attention but also help them feel welcomed and comfortable in the classroom.
Please comment and share good Youtube videos you keep in your "back pocket!" I would love to add to my collection.
Also - don't forget to check and see what those monkeys have been up to!
