Youtube.com and Professional Developement

-
Last night I couldn't get enough of youtube.com.  I am always interested in learning about best practices.  Several people in my district are excited about whole brain teaching so I watched some videos on youtube and I was transfixed.  I plan on watching more whole brain teaching videos on wholebrainteaching.com. I love all the movement and that the kids are engaged.

I also watched random first grade videos and teaching calendar with the smart board.  There is just so much to view.  The best part is that these teachers are inspiring and provide new techniques to try.  Youtube is like pinterest.com because it draws you in for hours and hours!

Here are a few of my favorite videos:


On a side note, I sell on eBay and promote other sellers.  If interested check out my eBay Store: Lowery's Loft.  My username on eBay is GroovyEducator (just like this blog).

    One of the other first grade teachers across the hall has been doing whole brain for about 2 years. She really loves it. You need to go to one of their free conferences. She did and she was hooked.

    Thanks for your comment! One of the teachers at my school started presenting at these conferences. She has sparked my interest. Have you tried it? I need to learn more about it. I've seen bits and pieces. :)

I am linking up with Dragonflies in First to share the best advice from mentors/peers.  It is hard to choose because there are so many words of wisdom that have been so helpful.  If I had to choose one it is based on what a current first grade coworker shared with me one day... Assign each child a number and have them write it on all their papers.  This makes filing a dream (especially if you have a helper).  It facilitates writing grades in the grade book, checking out books (inventory) , and it lends itself to this catchy tune I created. Number, name, and date. Number, name, and date. isn't it great to write your number, name, and date. Tune:  Farmer in the Dell (I believe) We sing this song before every activity. Each child having a number can be used for a multitude of things including mailboxes and lining up.  The possibilities are endless!
