=Video Resources for Course Integration=

We can find videos for almost anything now, and kids today watch a lot of videos. It makes sense to integrate more videos into our courses. At a virtual school it is almost a must because there is no face-to-face instruction and videos can help supplement what we used to do in the classroom. Giving students all of our examples and material in a complete text based format is common in online teaching, but this will easily turn them off from completing the assignment because many do not like to read long passages online. We have to integrate more engaging tools, such as videos and slideshows, to keep students from skipping over, through, and around our teaching.

This wiki is designed to help online teachers (but appropriate for classroom teachers also) easily find video and other Web 2.0 sites specific to their course content. There is a math, english, social studies, and science section and when you click on those pages you will find an introduction of the video resource along with some examples of how it fits into your content area.
