"TeachWithMovies offers access to more than 350 lesson plans and learning guides for movies and films. I’ve long been a big fan of reading and studying movies. I’ve been a fan of this site’s rich curricular materials for many years. I just discovered that I do not need to re-subscribe. The site is now available for free (though it will now host unobtrusive advertising and encourage voluntary donations)."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This site is new to me but it looks like a great resource and Joyce Valenza has an in-depth post that shares many great features. It is easy to search for movies - alphabetically, age, subject and more. The learning guides include "Learning guides include a description, rationale for using the film, student learning objectives, potential problems for using the film, discussion questions, and assignment and assessment ideas, social-emotional learning discussion questions, bridges to reading, web links, selected awards, cast and director information, and bibliographies." Do you use movies in your clasroom or are you interested in using them? If so check out this post.

Beth Dichter's insight:
This is a fabulous series that explore science. Six animated videos are available that show "the way we think scientifically by considering skepticism, testing, blinding, uncertainty ethics and citizen science." By title they are: * This Thing Called Science Part 1: Call me skeptical * This Thing Called Science Part 2: Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3 * This Thing Called Science Part 3: Blinded by Science * This Thing Called Science Part 4: Confidently Uncertain * This Thing Called Science Part 5: Do the Right Thing * This Thing Called Science Part 6: Citizen Science These videos were created by Bridge8, who also put out a great series of videos on Critical Thinking. You can find that series at http://bridge8.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/critical-thinking-animations/ There are also 2 guides available for the Critical Thinking series, a postcard size one and an extended one. I found these on YouTube when I accessed the video Critical Thinking Part 1: A Valuable Argument uploaded by techNyouvids.

Great series for introduction to scientific concepts and research methods. When we are aware of sources of bias we can devise ways to test for it or eliminate it.

Learn more about Science by first understanding the Scientific Process. These videos above make it much more easier to understand the topic. |
This is good news!! Movies are a great way to engage the current generation and having this resource free is fantastic.
