Thing #7-Video Resources

Here is a link to a video I have used in my classroom http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/

This is a one hour special from PBS about safety on the internet an usuage by teenagers. I used this as part of my Digital Citizenship unit last year. It is a great video and kept the kids very engaged, as it was easy for them to relate to the scenarios presented of online predators, social networking, and indivuals who "create" online identities. I also posted a link to this video to my class Ning last year so that students could review it and parents could watch it at home.




This is a very popular "Did You Know" video about globalization that I have also shown to my business students, only about 5 minutes long and really grabs your attention. I have found this on YouTube but it is also on TeacherTube and other "school district friendly" sites it is also a great video to show at back to school night or when you are trying to convince an audience why it is important to take Business and Technology classes!

I also teach a marketing class and found that in the 2007 Super Bowl, Coca Cola had 4different advertisements each appealing to a different target market. I like to show the videos in class and ask the students to detrmine who the advertiser is trying to target:
