I prefer the K-5 students are not sent to youtube, so I try to curate videos when possible.
Here is a curated list of
Mo Willems daily doodles and again, this Padlet gets updated daily. But it makes for a nice choice board as well. All
safeyoutube.net links instead of youtube when it works :).
Here is a
curated list that works for K-5 teachers or parents to select read alouds by the authors themselves. I love the diversity of the group and also that some are promoting new books or soon-to-be released books. Again, when I can I convert the youtube url to a safe share one.
I've shared this before, but it might be a good thing to share again for teachers to use a slide when creating a mini lesson to share in this distance learning environment. I made these a few years ago based on Jen Serravallo's book
Reading Strategies.Suggest to a teacher that they convert a slide into a jpg and then use in iMovie as they narrate the mini lesson or they could put the jpg in Educreations and then do the narrate the lesson.
Hope some of this saves you all some time and keeps you showing your strength as instructional design partners. We are in this together.
