Below is my YouTube video I used in the assignment and also my Google Docs presentaion I have created.


The link to my Educational Video can be found here.  The video was taken from YouTube and could be used to sing the alphabet using pictures of sea creatures. Kindergarten and even first graders would enjoy this activity. This activity is very difficult and required a good bit of time. As a teacher we have many resources out there to use videos. I use a lot of videos from TeacherTube, Discovery Channel, BrainPop, and etc for any science activites. Due to the timely fashion of this assignment it would be difficult to use as a teacher on a regular basis. Once I figured it out it cut down on the time I spent on the activity. If I continued to use this tool, it would become easier. I enjoyed the assignment but was frustrated on more than one occassion. It is a good resource to have if a YouTube video needs to be used but the teacher cannot gain access to the video. I know at our school, NFI, we cannot use YouTube so this would be a "backup plan" for me to have if I needed to use a YouTube video.
