Mine and Rachelle’s vidcast, “All about the Clouds,” goes along with the fourth grade curriculum. This vidcast would be really beneficial to show to your class as an introduction to all the different types of clouds. We chose this topic because clouds are out almost all the time and it can be hard to decipher between the different types. With our vidcast children should be able to know and understand the different types of clouds a little better.
Our vidcast does connect to the NETS and the INTASC standards. It is engaging to the students and can improve their learning and attitude toward school. It also engages in the professional growth and leadership of the teacher. When the teacher knows that their kids are having fun while learning it helps the teacher grow and expand their teaching models.
With this vidcast there can be some drawbacks. The vidcast might move to quickly for some students, so they wouldn’t have the same growing and learning experience as others. Something we could have done differently would have been to speak in it more so that the children can hear about the clouds as well as follow along.
If I ever teach fourth grade I think showing them this vidcast would really be beneficial. It can have its draw backs like I mentioned above. If those were a problem though I could just read the words out loud to my class. The students can really relate to the music and pictures that go along with the vidcast, they are fun and catchy and make watching the vidcast fun and entertaining. The kids will be learning the different types of clouds while laughing and having fun!
