Wow! Never having searched these sites for educational videos or any other kinds of videos for that matter, I was amazed at how many are out there. After about 4 hours, I had to make myself stop searching. There were so many to choose from, but here's a couple I liked. Marmot's Map Shape Song would be great for teaching the shapes and their attributes. We could sing along with the video and add hand motions to go with it. Also, I like the Phonics Song 2 from KidsTV 123 by A. J. Jenkins. It would be another helpful tool for teaching the alphabet letters and sounds. I got both of these videos from You Tube. The visual and auditory aspects of the video along with incorporating some movement, kinesthetic, will help to engage the different types of learners.
You're right - there are endless options for great videos out there. One downside of YouTube is that it is often blocked by our district filter due to the number of inappropriate videos that could be accessed by children. But all you have to do is find the good ones, download them to your Blog and then play them from there! Don't forget about the Discovery Learning streaming videos available through our Library Resources page - lots of treasures there too!
