Recycling Video

I chose this video because it told kids how important recycling is and it encourages them to recycle.  I am doing my unit plan on recycling and I thought that this video would be appealing to children.  I will be using this in my Unit Plan.  I think that YouTube can be a great source to use in the classroom as long as it is monitored.  Since it is not geared towards education you can see videos that would be inappropriate for children to view.  So if you were to use YouTube in the classroom please be CAREFUL!

Databases

I would have kids to use the database for spelling.  It would be a great way for them to store all of their spelling words, which would include definitions.  As a teacher I would use it to have all contact information for the children in the classroom.

Excel

Excel is a great software program for a teacher to use with class rosters and even grade books.  I would use Excel if I was teaching an older group of kids.  I don't really see younger children using Excel.  I would have all of the older children to create their own homeword checklist charts.  I think it is important for the kids to have accountability.

Word

In a classroom setting I would use Microsoft Office Word for reports.  I would allow the children to use this in the classroom or computer lab to complete their report papers.  I think one disadvantage to this is not seeing the mistakes that the kids would normally make.  Word automatically will check for errors and if they would have written the report by hand the errors would be more viewable.
