Thing #20

I selected this video because I believe these students show a very useful application of YouTube. They have taken what they have learned and made something different out of it. While it is not easy to hear everything they say, the idea gets across. This would be a fun activity to use with my students. They ask me quite often if they can rap for me. I plan to use this idea in my classroom.

During my exploration of YouTube, I found some very boring English videos. I can understand why students say English is boring. The videos I browsed, while useful in teaching rules and ESL students English, were dry and taught by people in a monotone. We explored some interesting videos as a family on the Grand Canyon's new observation tower and the thrill rides perched atop the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. Check those out, they are awesome.
