Have you ever seen the tv show “How It’s Made”? It’s amazing to see what happens behind the scenes to develop a product. Here are some videos for kids that show how things are made that may be of interest to them.
From WeAreTeachers, check out these 16 videos on: Crayons, Cheese, LEGO Bricks, Toilet Paper, Baseballs, Sprinkles, Maple Syrup, Pencils, Silk, Balloons, Paper Money, Coins, Fireworks, Gumballs, Books, and Glass.
Look anywhere on the map for a place of interest and select the pinpoint to hear wonderful soundscapes and wildlife sounds from around the world. Nature Soundmap was put together by a group of professional nature recordists who have collaborated to develop high-quality field recordings and satellite imagery.
What an interesting way to have your students close their eyes and listen to the sounds from a particular place around the world to see if they can identify what they are hearing.
Google Jamboard is a great tool that can be used as a digital whiteboard. Using your screen share feature in Big Blue Button, you can work with students in real-time, work within Google Drive, and collaborate with any device. For example, you want to work out a math problem to show the order of operations or you’re in a session to brainstorm ideas or complete an activity together.
This video shows how to use Jamboard for remote teaching and includes the Equati0! extension for math problems.
Helpful videos for the conferencing tool in both Canvas and Schoology.
