Today I added some more videos to the playlist collection for my classes. I found a couple of videos on racism that I liked and one I liked that I didn't dare share. So I saved the ones that were class appropriate. I also found out about the "thinkb4you speak" campaign that has PSAs aimed at explaining why "that's so gay" is an insult. I found two video's on you tube but guess there could be others out there too. I need to go see if they have a website.
Then my video searching got even more serious as I saved some links to videos on the Darfur genocide and Rwandan genocide. I was thinking that with the Darfur videos I could create an assignment that had students compare and contrast 3 different style videos (picture/print, music video, and personal narrative) for which one had the most impact on them personally. This way the students are not just learning about Darfur but are exploring the means of the message.
Before I left the youtube site I had to bring myself back to something lighter so I watched a cat that was fascinated by a printer to the point it attacked it (but the printer attacked back!) I needed that.
