Thank you, Sandra, for pointing that out. I should have clarified that. This
is just the plan I am using with my teachers and that's why I used the site
that includes ESC 11 in the url.

> Setting up your own account (see handout)

> How to search - by keyword (or topic), by subject and grade level, by
> curriculum standard (these are listed for Texas) or take a look at all
> titles available.
>
> Keyword example: Penguins - shows 5 titles: one for 2-6, 3 for JH and
> HS, and one for K-1. Notice how it lists running time, date and
> producer. Click on Correlations for first title. Shows you your TEKS
> covered with that video. You can write them down on your lesson plan!
>
> Subject and grade level example: Science skills and technology, topic -
> Science fairs and projects, grade level - all [because I just want to
> see what they have]. Shows one title: How to Prepare a Science Fair
> Project [I discover this now that I just ordered a $95 video on this
> same topic, but now you see we have more to choose from!] Notice this is
> for grades 5-9, made in 1998. Check correlations - given for each grade.
> Click on Blackline Masters: You see you have a complete 17-page guide
> you can print out for your students. They can look at it as you watch
> the video or you can give it to them to go over afterwards or just to
> take home. Also, you can save this to your hard drive and customize it
> for your class or to use again next year. Click on Teacher's Guide -
> There's a complete list of instructions and suggestions on how to use
> the video in your classroom. This one's 20 pages long, but you can skim
> and pick and choose what you want.
>
> Click on Title to Preview - Good idea to preview to see if you like it,
> if it's appropriate for your level, if you want to use part of it or all
> of it, etc. Choose stream to show it right then. This starts video
> immediately, but also give you a breakdown of the video on the right.
> (Scroll down to look at list.) Notice how you can show a video quiz
> after they view the video. Let's try it. Quick way to check
> understanding or take a grade. It's good to tell them you really expect
> them to learn something from this video; it's not just free time. Video
> Quiz is printed on last page of the student guide so you may just want
> to print that our separately for the students.
>
> How to download - If you like it and want to download, right click on
> the "d" symbol and choose "Save Target As" from the pop-up list. Choose
> the location where you want to save it: on your desktop makes it easy to
> find, or you may want to save it into a folder marked "Science Fair
> lesson."
> Note: These do take up a lot of space on your hard drive, which will
> make the computer run slower. So, you may want to delete it when you are
> through using it.
>
> How to add to play list - To save it so you can find it easier next year
> when you want to use the same video. Click on "a" symbol. It will ask if
> you want to add it to "My Playlist." If you want to do that, click
> continue. Check your playlist and it's there. Learning Resources -
> Videos linked to historical events that happened on each day. Click on
> this link at top of page. Click on August along left side. Scroll down
> to see what's available that month that might go with your curriculum.
> You see that it has a couple of videos related to the election process,
> good for this year.
>
> All available titles: Click on this. A subject listing comes up or you
> can look at all titles starting with A-D.
>
> On your own: Pick a topic of your own and put together a lesson plan
> incorporated all of the resources available. Try to find one that
> includes a blackline master and a quiz for the students to use. Don't
> forget to put the TEKS on it. Then, you'll be ready to turn it in to
> your principal.
>
> I'll be on hand to assist you as you try to go through the steps on your
> own.

> Lunch break or end of session (give out certificates).
