Web Resources

My favorite web resources we went over in class are United Streaming and Rubistar. United Streaming is a really interesting resource, I used to love when my teachers played videos for me in class. I think Rubistar is great since you can both look for different rubrics and create your own. I think I would personally use United Streaming more then Rubistar. Rubistar is a great resource for rubrics, but I feel like I could do that on my own if need be. United Streaming has so many great videos of so many different topics. Especially since some of the videos are cartoons, which children would love. I would use videos in every subject if i could. Visual learners could really benefit from seeing videos in the classroom. Social Studies I think is the best subject area where videos are the most beneficial. It is hard for students to understand the past sometimes, and seeing the past through videos will help students imagine it. Science would also be a great subject to use videos in. Seeing experiments be created on a computer or TV will really excite students to want to do it on their own. United Streaming is such a good tool and I will definitely use it when I become a teacher in an elementary classroom.
