ReplyDeleteWhen watching video 1, I enjoyed how the teacher made the standards fit into her interactive approach. What I am going to taking away from this video is. As a teacher, you have to make the new standards fit into your style of teaching.
In video 2, I enjoyed how the people in the video made different types of sound to make a rock and roll song.
Video 3 was my favorite. I enjoyed his explanation. The longer the object the deeper the sound. The shorter the object the higher the sound.

You do need to make things match your style of teaching. Did you see Stomp it was so creative they made sound a musical using brooms, trash cans,lids all kinds of things. Thanks for your thoughts.
DeleteIt was interesting to evaluate these videos and styles of teaching.
DeleteI agree with Susan that we have to make addressing the standards fit our style.
Some of the animated vides are tough for ME to watch and that eliminates them
from my plans. I most enjoyed the LIVE rock music produced by household items.
Real stuff that kids can understand..The last video of desk items and the noise they
create OR can identify was good BUT I would like to clean his desk AND his
workbench before watching again :) I wish students were the video stars.
It's not easy to find videos where kids are the video stars.i agree desk should be cleaned.
DeleteSue, I also liked the part in video 3 where he shows "the longer the object the deeper the sound. The shorter the object the higher the sound" I've done this with rulers but it was fascinating to show the same concept while he was sawing wood. It wasn't musical but you could definitely hear the change in pitch as the wooden dowel got longer.
DeleteYou could do this same idea with a straw it is called a a straw oboe. The kids would love doing it the pitch keeps changing each time the straw is cut.

ReplyDeleteThe first video clip started with a first grade teacher and I wasn’t sure it would apply to my kids but I enjoyed the embedded link. I think the distinction between sound and noise is important. When the teacher talked about sound words like popcorn goes “pop” and fireworks go “boom”, I thought it would be a great time to do a mini-lesson on onomatopoeia. I also enjoyed the video of the band using unorthodox instruments. Every year I show my students a coke commercial which uses a combination of glass and plastic coke bottles. The song is great and would be great class activity. I need a friend who’s addicted to soda! I thought the last video clip was too cartoonish for my fifth graders and the narrator’s voice was too highbrow for the cartoon style video. It was an odd combination and distracting to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found the first couple helpful..Good idea doing a lesson on onomatopoeia .
DeleteLauren- As I watched the Stem-brite video I found myself paying more attention to the condition of his office than the objective of his lesson. I believe that if I showed this to my kindergartners, they would do the same thing! I did love how he used everyday objects.
DeleteAlthough, we do not teach this in kindergarten, I think that some valuable "how to listen" lessons could be incorporated. Listening is an essential part of phonemic awareness in kindergarten. Believe it or not, it is a lesson that needs to be explicitly taught in kindergarten.
Would be fun to "jam" with the NGSS folks!
Have read the book The Listening Walk by Paul Showers? Good way to get kids to focus on listening.
DeleteNo. I have not! Will see if we have it in library. Thanks!!

Here is a link from You Tube . The book is on line and is read aloud. Same book read by different people. I hope this helps.
Lauren I was also looking at the condition of his office. It was detracting.
DeleteI also feel that when things are not neat or there is too much material around for kids to choose from it can be distracting.
DeleteHazel- I love using short videos to supplement my teaching. My second graders would love watching the vibration and light videos. They are short enough to keep their attention but good thought provoking concepts that would bring further thought and comments in a whole group discussion. I do agree with Chris that I would rather see more realistic kid videos than the animated ones.
ReplyDeleteI think short videos work best.
DeleteSue M. I enjoyed the third video on sound. It made me think of the movie
Delete"Jurassic Park" and how they simulated the footprints of the dinosaurs by placing a glass of water on the back speaker in the car. It showed the sound/vibration. I also thought of how I can show the kids the packing tape. This made me stop and think!
I'm glad you found it helpful.i was not aware that's how they did it in Jurassic Park.
DeleteHazel, I also love using short videos that help tie in lessons.
DeleteI agree short works best.
