REFLECTION ON USES OF TECHNOLOGY

I like the Dr. Jean website.  I’ve printed the cheer cards and placed them in a hand held photo album.   For the past week we’ve selected kids that we saw doing something good and introduced a Dr. Jean cheer.  On her website I also found YouTube videos of some of her songs.  (I’m liking those even better than what I had been creating using SMART software!)
 
I remembered hearing about “Quiet Tube” from a co-worker.  I tried it out tonight watching You Tube videos.  It took away all the junk that’s usually on the video screen.  This will be a wonderful solution for when I want to show videos to the class.  I don’t have to worry about what pops up on the side or bottom of the video.  I found it by googling Quiet Tube.  The actual address is quietube.com and it is a button that you drag to your web browser screen.  Then you can click it on when you need it.  What an awesome find!  I haven’t tried it, but I was reading online that you can also type the word “quiet” infront of You Tube address and it will do the same thing.
