But now that I am well equipped once more by my fantastic BYU education I can once again enter the classroom well prepared whether it has the same technology options as BYU or not.
My presentation..."Duck and Cover"
As this particular clip is 10 minutes long and I am not sure how long the original piece was it could be difficult to know what time length would be appropriate to show, except that this was a film made by the federal government to be shown in schools. It was made to educate students and the general public, so it might very well be in the public domain. That could take some checking or you might be able to call, email, or otherwise contact the Department of Education to find out.
Other problems that this could solve is that videos are sometimes removed from YouTube by the owner and not because they were infringing on copyright laws. By actually having the video file on your computer this could be prevented. Another problem that downloading the video can solve is the fact that you may not be the only one show YouTube videos in class. If your students want to show a video. If you have multiple videos to be shown by multiple students, you could save time by downloading them all and have them in cues so that there is no wait time in between the videos. We only have so many minutes to teach our students, so we have to save every last one we can.
I feel this technology could be used to fulfill certain core standards such as...
- World Civilizations: Standard 4
Students will understand the influence of revolution and social change in the transition from early modern to contemporary societies. - World Civilizations: Standard 5
Students will understand the interaction of peoples in the global integration of the 20th century. - US History II: Standard 9
The students will understand the emergence and development of the human rights and culture in the modern era. - US History II: Standard 10
The students will understand the economic and political changes in contemporary America.
