Thing 14 a lesson in loading.

I viewed several videos on anger management for my social skills class. A couple of videos were not bad so I am putting them here for you to view.



I was introduced to youtube a few years ago by my students. They would look up funny videos, and fights when they had free time. We would end up huddled around a monitor enthralled by what we were seeing. Before this assignment I never looked to youtube as a possible teaching tool, but easily found some appropriate video that I could use with my class. I can use these videos as a time out tool to give my students a chance to cool down when they get heated, or as a precursor to help prevent problems.




This is my instructional video. It combines a technique I like to use with a technique that Dennis Horne likes to use.





This one is just for fun.

Teachertube was a little more friendly for instructional materials. I did not end up sorting through as much inappropriate materials looking for something useful. I will look at teachertube more in the future for lesson ideas.

On a side note, I have DSL on my home computer, but it is no where near as fast as my school connection. This was extremely slow and laborious at home. If I did work like this on a regular basis, I would definitely invest in faster connections, and more memory.
