As I am a visual learner, and have a relatively short attention span, I have always loved educational videos. Schoolhouse Rock and I are old friends... and you all know how I love BrainPop.
This week, I discovered some neat new sources of educational videos on YouTube - to include Bill Nye the Science Guy and Schoolhouse Rock. And I love the idea of Crash Course History and Biology. Enjoy:
Crash Course History
This is a series of 37 fast-paced ten to twelve minute overviews of major concepts and themes in World History. These might be a fun way to kick-off or reinforce a unit in the Upper School.
Crash Course Biology
Like the Crash course in history, this is a series of fast-paced ten to twelve minute overviews of major concepts and themes in Biology.
Disney Educational Channel offers a number of videos on YouTube as well. On the website, they say: Disney Educational Productions is committed to providing the tools teachers need to engage, inform, and inspire many different learners. Packed with educator-designed teachers guides and activities, our ultimate collection of award-winning DVDs will make it easier for you to reach - and teach - your students through immersive multimedia experiences.
