Saw this great video on a post by Frances Manning. Like Frances, I can see the possibilities in using such a video in the classroom. It can be used to explore -

  • counting 1 – 100
  • one to one correspondence
  • stages of the human lifespan
  • identification of the differences and similarities of humans

And, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the students then had an opportunity to create their own movie or slide show to demonstrate their understanding of similar concepts. Perhaps an animation? A Voice Thread? Live action? A comic using Comic Life? The possible applications are endless and the possible learning outcomes huge.

Makes me want to be in the classroom again :-)
