American Women in World War II Video
Youtube can be a great tool. It is extremely easy to find thousands of videos on a topic. Finding this video wasn't too difficult, I just had to sift through quite a few results first. This is one of the largest problems with Youtube. The large amount of videos makes it difficult to find educational videos. If you find a good channel on Youtube, it makes finding videos extremely easy. The channel I pulled this video from is a personal favorite of mine. The channel has tons of historical film from various archives. History teachers often use PBS or History Channel videos in their classroom. Teachers do not use primary source videos as much as they should though. Primary source videos are an excellent resource for a teacher, as they allow students to fully immerse themselves in a time period. A primary source video, like the one above could interest students in a topic and make them want to study it more. I would use Youtube videos for this reason in the classroom extensively, especially to introduce a unit.
I also looked at the website http://www.go2web20.net/site/?a=Glmps. This is the website that is conncected with the Glmps App. This app would be great for use in the classroom, as students could easily take photos of a site (or a project) and share it online. This would be great if I was taking the class on a field trip, or if students vacationed in a historically significant site and shared their photos/videos with the class.
