I went to the Iowa AEA's main site (http://www.iowaaeaonline.org/vnews/display.v/SEC/Students) and looked within the "Students" tab resources.  I clicked on the link on the left side, entitled "Learn 360" & was taken to this site, http://www.learn360.com/Default.aspx?Pageid=371217 .  From there, I clicked the "Browse Standards" link, found near the search bar at the top of the site.  I then clicked on STATE STANDARDS....and then LANGUAGE ARTS.....and then KINDERGARTEN.  

I then chose a specific standard strand to explore....IA.CC.RF.K.(View 939 resources meeting this standard) Reading Standards: Foundational Skills.  I was taken to a long list of video resources that could be used with students in support of these standards.  I could see myself using these video clips to support various reading strategies, even beyond the foundational skill standards.  Kindergarten students have a limited attention span, so varying the presentation of different types of literature is a must.  These videos clips will give me another media source to use in presenting stories and books.  I am positive the Kindergarten students will respond well to this form of presentation as well.  

Each video clip I choose will be used in a different ways to reach positive student learning outcomes efficiently.  The Learn 360 resources will help to enhance my language arts lesson plans, and I am excited to explore the subject area standard resources as well.  I love that the site gives you the opportunity to locate the resources through the standards, since our lessons and classroom actives are driven by them.
