Two weeks ago I officially re-launched my YouTube page as the “Teaching Kids†channel and posted my first new video of the school year entitled “Teaching Kids to Transition Back into ‘School Mode.’ †Each of my new “Teaching Kids†videos will feature 1-2 minute tips for educators and parents and will address a wide variety of topics that focus on teaching the whole child, including academics, character, and health.
Last week I officially re-launched my YouTube page as the “Teaching Kids†channel and posted my first new video of the school year entitled “Teaching Kids to Transition Back into ‘School Mode.’ †Each of my new “Teaching Kids†videos will feature 1-2 minute tips for educators and parents and will address a wide variety of topics that focus on teaching the whole child, including academics, character, and health.
Over the past few years I have uploaded approximately twenty instructional videos on YouTube. These videos range from 1-6 minutes in length and deal primarily with academic tips and study strategies. I am excited to announce that I have re-designed my page on the site, and I am officially re-launching it as the “Teaching Kids†channel. All of my new “Teaching Kids†videos will feature 1-2 minute tips for educators and parents and will address a wide variety of topics that focus on teaching the whole child, including academics, character, and health.
In this final Teaching Tip of the 2011-2012 school year, I would like to re-visit an idea I presented last year at this time. My website is less than two years old and doesn’t yet have any real traditions, and I would like to start one now. I vow that at the end of each school year, this site's last Teaching Tip will focus on one of the foundational components of a quality classroom: an emphasis on continuous improvement.
