YouTube for school



I chose the video because the guy was fast, fun, and knows what he is talking about. I would use this in my class by making a class blog so we can all have someplace to go to for more information. The advantage of haing it on a blog is for the entire class to be able to get the information from any computer at any time.

American Revolutionary War
View SlideShare presentation or Upload your own.
This has a lot of good pictures and information on it but it has some slides with words over the pictures that are hard to read and some slides have way to much type on them.

I like this presentation because the pictures they use are popular ones that I have seen before linked to new ones for today. No words were used so I was able to think for myself.
