I had a blog that was due yesterday, but my computer took a lot longer than necessary to download iTunes, so I was not able to complete the blog last night. I have iTunes now, but I am not that computer literate. I eventually got to the videos on PBS, but I'm not sure how to download them. I click "GET MOVIE" and then I eventually found them downloading. Once downloaded, I could not see the video; I could only hear the audio.
But regardless, I can still tell that these educational videos could be extremely helpful in teaching a classroom. PBS is a great station and I still flip it on from time to time to see the different ways they use to teach children. They try to make it fun and make it to where it sticks once it has been taught to the child.
The one that I was actually able to listen to was "Galileo on the Moon". It was just someone who was doing some researching on the moon and you heard a clip of them while on the moon. It was quite interesting, and if I were to teach children about Physical Science, I'm sure this would be really exciting for most of them to hear! Then I could get them to do a project about what they think they would see on the moon, and how they would react. Just a fun activity, and I'm sure that I could teach them all about gravity and craters and such found on the moon. Not to mention, all of the things discovered by Galileo. I wish I was able to actually view the video clip, and the other videos do not seem to want to download. I need a better computer!!!!
