Thing 19
Exploring YouTube is not a new thing for me. However, I will admit that using it for professional searches is new. To this point, YouTube has been more recreational than professional. To explain myself, I decided to share this link to what must be in the top 10 of cute on YouTube. Please take a moment to listen to little Zoei Toh sing The Lord’s Prayer.
I was tickled to find the following clip of a speech given by Gary Paulsen. Paulsen’s books are not only favorites with our male students, but we have teachers who use the parts of his novels to teach descriptive writing as well as other concepts. I truly enjoyed listening to Paulsen talk about how a library saved his life.
Writing scores at my school were down drastically this year. Of course, that means we will search for ways to reverse the downward trend. Blogging has not been well received by some of my faculty, so finding the following clip inspired me. Need a rationale for utilizing blogs in the writing curriculum. Perhaps this will help.

And last, but not least, I have found the following instructional video. Before you begin to question why this video, let me just say that I have a niece who loves to dance. She, in the way only a 20 month old can, has inspired me to learn to dance. So…..enjoy and learn a new dance step.
