desiraejb Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We stumbled upon teachertube.com one day and really like it. It helps my son to see part of his lesson, sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritsumei Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 There's a user that has a series of mini-documentaries on backyard birds, which has been perfect for us, since when I asked Monkey what animals he wanted to learn about it was birds birds birds, and has mostly continued to be birds and more birds. One of my blog posts, with clips, about birds is here. We also watch a fair amount of tourism clips when we are doing geography stuff. We do postcrossing, & look at some of the countries our cards come from, so what country we're studying is pretty random, but countries and often even cities will have tourism clips that are either official or someone visited and made one.

Once Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A few years ago, while doing a Geography Fair, we learned the greek alphabet from two youtube videos. One was put out by MUS Steve Demme and the other was by 800schamp (I think). My kids still remember a surprising amount of the song. There are a bunch of great learning videos out there!

AngelBee Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 I LOVE the songs we can find there. My kids seem to catch on quickly with music. We are about to watch Horrible Histories right now. We watched a movie about Atilla the Hun. Totally different take on him. We LOVED it! Does have one or two scene that have some sexual content (or eluding to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 History for Music Lovers is the current favorite here. My kids did battle today singing "Macedonia" to the tune of "My Sharona." My 6yo knows almost all the words, and she has only heard it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Definitely Eureka!, an old Canadian TV show about physics and chemistry. Middle school level, but can be enjoyed by youngers. Also, all the . And the Schoolhouse Rock videos. I like the podcasts. Can you tell we use Youtube for science a lot? We often find unusual gems, but I usually forget them as soon as I find them. One I remember (mostly because I blogged about it) was an animated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
