[|How to Perform a Sea Kayak X Rescue] Having just purchased Kayaks this summer, my husband and I have never experienced the need to rescue anyone on any of the trips we've taken and wanted to be sure we would be ready. Until we take a Kayak class, I looked for a number of rescue tapes and this seemed to be the best one (found on You Tube) for us to try on our own. I also work with students at camp Mi-Bro-Be with learning how to Canoe on the lake and thought it might be a good idea to find a few videos on collapsed canoes. Hopefully I will never have to use those either! Joyce Gruss

[|The First Year of the New Government, 1789] This short video explains how the first government was set up to collect taxes in order to defend the new country. These short video segments from united streaming are my favorite to use to illustrate standards. jinnifer roach

[|Talk to Friends question: How Old Should You Be To Date] I just returned home from the Ohio Association of Teachers in Family and Consumer Sciences conference. During one of the breakout sessions related to our new standards, we were given the website [|www.talktofriends.org] to use concerning relationships. There are many videos/clips on the website that match our new standards. There are even places for our students to create their answer to the question and post the clip on the site. For example, I have linked the answer of a young man on when he thinks is an appropriate age to start dating. This could facilitate or begin a discussion in class after viewing a male vs. female thought. Bridget Buchtel

[|States and Capitals] This is a cute cartoon video teaching students about the 50 states and their capitals. It has a catchy song that students can easily learn. One of our 4th grade teachers has this song on a CD but now I can show him the video that goes with it. LauraFrench

It should encourage teachers to make school change. A must see for all educators. Lori Sveda

She has used technology in her classes for years and has made many student produced videos. This video is an excellent example of using technology as an aid for behavior management. If you are interested in seeing more of her movies go to [|Fugleflicks]. Kathy Jadud

[|Poems] This is a video from PBS kids that shows a variety of poems. This would make a great center when you introduce poems so the students could hear different types of poems.

[|One Semester of Spanish - Spanish Love Song] This is a funny video by "Spanish Mike" at Runaway Box. I originally found it on You Tube and wanted to share it with my students as a fun activity to listen for different things but the access was blocked. Now it is listed on Teacher Tube. Even if you don't know much Spanish, you can enjoy this video, you only need "one semester of Spanish" to understand it. - Terri Martin
