Thing 20

I am working on the YouTube video component of this project. I am having issues, as I can not use YouTube at my school, and it is blocked from my computer. I am in need of administrative privileges to be able to even get to You Tube. This is making it difficult to complete the lesson. I am having a difficult time seeing how I would use YouTube in my class. I have full access to Discovery Education and I am more likely to use these videos in my class than something from YouTube. I prefer the Discovery Education video series because I know the videos are school appropriate and they are educational. This minimizes the need for me to sort through "junk" videos like some of what get posted on YouTube.

I have found a video on YouTube that I do like, which would fit well with the employment unit that I would use for my students. The video goes through best practices in hiring employees. This provides a great perspective to my students about what employers are looking for in employees. I can then gear lessons around this to assist my students in determining how they can proceed with their education to achieve their goals in life.
