YouTube

I love using the video channel peachie speechie when teaching phonemic awareness. She does a wonderful job showing how the mouth should look when the sound is said.

Ah, a fellow language enthusiast!  :)  

Just posting here since I can't create my own post for some reason, even though I'm logged in to Nabble.  Anyway, I created a YouTube playlist for sign language.  My certified areas are English and Spanish, but I've recently been adding ASL to my endeavors.  I like how it's a visual way of communicating and how the whole body, including facial expressions, add another layer of understanding.

I tried to create a playlist for grammar concepts but gave up on the idea when YouTube kept blocking me from posting content geared for kids.  I guess it's some kind of protective measure, but it's kind of annoying when you want to save videos for educational purposes.

When I taught Romeo and Juliet in my 9th grade English classroom, I put together a Prezi to provide background information about Elizabethan England and what the theater was like in Shakespeare's day.  I found some additional YouTube videos about costumes, hygiene, the Plague, James Burbage, etc. that would also be interesting for students to watch.  It's in my Romeo+Juliet playlist, which I've made public under my lnsmith.edu@gmail.com username.  I also shared my ASL playlist with a friend whose son inspired me to learn more sign language.
