iTunes Store



The iTunes Store is not just good for finding the lastest songs and movies, but can be used to find many options for classroom ideas. It would not be hard to find a video to incorporate into a lesson you may have for the day. You can search by grade level or subject area. What is so great about the videos are most of them are very short which helps students who have a short attention span, especially for younger children.

I watched "Total Solar Eclipse Animation." This would be neat to show if this were something that was being studied or even if it may be occurring at the time. This video explains what a Solar Eclipse is and also shows the process. It was only a little over a minute long.

I believe these videos would be great to use in the classroom, especially for visual and auditory learners. The videos are good to reinforce material that is covered in class. Most of the videos are sponsored by prominent groups such as PBS and WGBH These are both great educational websites that reach all ages.
