The Teaching Channel

On the website, Teacher Channel, there are several videos that are perfect for my specific grade level or just a good classroom teaching technique.

1. Roll the Dice: Participation Exercise

I think this is a great strategy because dice are luck. You can roll the same number three times, so the students always have to be ready instead of other common participation exercises like the popsicle stick or game cards. Once you draw one, they go in a separate pile, so they will not be repeated. This strategy gets the whole class involved and prepared to answer every question. 2. Switch the Sign Song

Anytime a song is played, the students retain information better than if someone just spoke the information. The song sang in the video is relevant to the information that my students are currently working on. I definitely think I will use this method in my teaching. These teaching methods can be transferred to different subjects and grade levels. I can see how applying these in my class would be a benefit for my students learning.
