Today I learned of a website possessing much potential for supplementing classroom instruction. It can engage students of all ages, in all curricular areas, in an audio-visual manner. The website: "WatchKnow - Videos for Kids to Learn From. Organized" The URL: http://www.watchknow.org
What is WatchKnow? From the website: "Imagine hundreds of thousands of great short videos, and other media, explaining every topic taught to school kids. Imagine them rated and sorted into a giant Directory, making them simple to find. WatchKnow--as in, "You watch, you know"--is a non-profit online community devoted to this goal."
After exploring this site, I have to agree that it is well organized and intuitive to navigate. With a library of over 12,000 audio-visual resources, there's a strong likelihood you'll find something that you can put to use!
Marion County educators: It wouldn't hurt to begin collecting a list of websites providing resources similar to those hosted at WatchKnow. You never know when access to the heavily used "UnitedStreaming" website we're all familiar with will become a thing of the past (hint, hint, HINT).
Other sites of this nature?
