This assignment could easily use up the entire "hours" that we're supposedly going to use to complete Learning with CDLC. (Those of us from Niskayuna are getting 10 hours of credit for the course.) I can say, without any fear of "padding the numbers", that I have already more than doubled that amount of time. It's not from lack of desire that I haven't spent more time. As I can see from most of the participant's blogs that I have read, we all suffer from the same problem...lack of time.
Therefore, I decided to take the easy-way-out on this assignment. I can easily spend hours on YouTube. Whenever someone sends me a link to a video, I can't stop myself from looking at others.
I was so happy to find The Little Engine that Could on YouTube. Whenever I walk into my son's house, my 2 1/2 year old grandson's eyes light up when he sees my laptop because he knows that I will sit by his side and watch The Little Engine... and Thomas videos with him on my computer for as long as he wants.
I first saw this video on a different website and loved it. What a perfect thing to share with our 5th graders when they study Latin America. Of course, it's now on YouTube, so here it is, embedded in
my blog to complete Thing 8.
