MOVIES AND VIDEOS

Since we are teachers, we decided to go into the video website for kids “PBS Kids”

The site is very attractive and colorful and it has a hyperlink containing stuff for teachers and parents full of activities related to the big ideas/ Ideas to grow on. There are also free trials for learning and fun as well as pintables for kids.

Still in the kids section, but after having visited “Lean English Kids”, we found this website highly resourceful for kids as it includes songs, jokes, language games, stories, word of the week. It requires membership and people can add comments to the site. Parents are invited to sign up to get their newsletter. Parents also find info here on how to help their children to learn English; teachers can find ways of how to use “Learn English Kids” in the classroom and kids can help their lil brothers or sisters learn English.

Another website that we have decided to pay a visit was “School clipart”, from where one can download free school clipart graphics from a huge amount of free clipart categories.

Our suggestion to teach and discuss the topic “pollution” for the secondary level goes for the video “The Earth song” by Michael Jackson.
