| Digital Video
Collection |
K-12 | This database has over 2017 videos available to view. Videos connect to various standards that span the K-12 spectrum. | Very easy to use. Can search for a specific video using the “search” link or you can browse the library through defined content.
All content is free thanks to a library and technology grant. |
| The Library of Congress: American Memory | K-12 | Social Studies, Geography, Language Arts, Science, Mathematics | Access to search the Library of Congress’s archives. Audio, video, articles, documents, timelines and biographical information all available in a digital archive. You can also search using key words, categories or search options. |
| How a Bill Becomes a Law lesson plan (Ohio History Teachers link) | 4th Grade | Social Studies Content Standards: Chronology, growth, role of government, citizenship, Social Studies Skills & Methods | This lesson lists all content standards as well as objectives, preparation, materials, the lesson itself and a glossary of terms with definitions that fit with the lesson. |
| Do you plan to use any of the resources noted above in your teaching/learning? If so, what are some possible ideas of how to utilize the resources(s)? | Yes, I will certainly use the digital video collection to bring many of my lessons to life. Students engage more when they have various forms of learning being used in a lesson, so the use of videos is perfect to stimulate visual and auditory learners.
I will use the Library of Congress to compile my own examples for lessons, but also use it as a research tool for students when they are working on projects, reports or group assignments. I will also use it as a tool to teach them how to search things on a data base on the Internet.
I will certainly use this lesson plan! I can’t believe how detailed and in depth the lesson is. I will use it to teach how a bill becomes a law. I will also use the digital video collection to insert videos into the lesson. |

| What is better for designing classroom materials, resources like these, or the “open” Web? Why? | I think both are useful, but these resources have some positives that the “open” web doesn’t. Here the resources are tested, compiled with descriptions, categorized and available for use with lesson plans and content standards. When using the “open” web, it is more time consuming because you have to sift through the millions of resources some good, some bad. And then you have to assess the grade level, which content areas and standards the resources fit. Using the resources listed above is more efficient and helpful for educators. | ||
