Select two videos and discuss how you would be able to use them in your library or classroom:
1.
I found this using google video search. This is a great way to introduce or review cellular organelles and appreciate the complexity of cells.
2. PBS video is an excellent resource for teachers. The site makes it very easy to search for videos by subject and topic. This link takes you to a video clip titled "Switching Genes On and Off" http://video.pbs.org/video/1503825140/ I will use this to introduce how genes are turned off and on and the concept of introns and exons in DNA. It also incorporates genetic engineering. Love it! Also, love the fact that it is short and to the point and the fact that the subject is fruit flies, because my students breed fruit flies for a genetics study during the school year.
TED.com is another excellent resource for lecture-type videos from famous professors, scientists, etc. I have shown parts of James Watson's lecture about his life and his discovery of the structure of DNA. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/james_watson_on_how_he_discovered_dna.html
Also, I noticed that Hulu was blocked from SBISD when I tried to view.
