I am back again. Slowly, but surely I will conquer this challenge. I am bouncing back and forth between classes. I have probably let my eyes overload my ability, but both classes sounded challenging and exciting, so I am persevering. (Spelling?).
I have had the opportunity to see United Streaming before, but have dropped the ball and not continued to use the resource. I hope to become comfortable with it this summer and plan to definitely use it this next year. My plans are to create a folder of videos to use in my math tutorials as advance organizers for my classes. I know the kids that I work with will benefit greatly from the introduction and remediation. Too many times kids are not given the mental image to tag the more abstract classwork on. I know my students will also love the opportunity to mix the videos and games into their time with me.
BrainPopJr. also looks like a wonderful resource to integrate into my classroom. I know the students will benefit from thevideos there also. Now, my next task is to get a TV into my classroom. Portables are nice, but they also have their negatives when they are out in the north forty away from the modernized school buildings.

United Streaming now called Discovery Education streaming is a great resource. I appreciate the ability to show short clips instead of full videos. It is very convenient to be able to create playlists to make the videos readily available. It is difficult when you don't have a way to show the videos. If you have a small group it would be possible to use a computer but that is not the best way.
