Find at least one picture, one video, one website, one quote, and one audio clip(song, podcast, or speech)that you may use in your classroom to help you students learn the subject matter. Place them in your blog. Tell about the subject and grade you plan on teaching. Explain how each one would help (or not help) you in teaching and How or if you will implement them into your lesson plans. Write a paragraph on the roles these objects have in education. Write a paragraph on any other creative tools you've found that may help your students in the future.

&nspb; This is a song that provides information for students in a why the may enjoy memorizing and learning it. I would use this song in order to help students learn states and capitals to create a better understand for U.S. history.
In the Classroom
&nspb; Media objects play an important role in the learning and understanding of subject matter in today's classrooms. Students see and hear things like this all day everyday. This means that they have grown accustom to learning and gathering information this way. Therefore, it is important that we as teachers meet them in this and teach them in that way.
Your post made me feel like I was back in school. I think you had a great idea posting different items. You could make a scavenger hunt and make them really look for specific items. Great Post.
