This is a complete copy of the school health manual for the State of Maine, listed as a series of Adobe Acrobat files. It provides comprehensive sections on a wide range of medical and psychological conditions and their management in school settings. The information is clearly organized, making it easy for teachers and others without medical training to find specific information. Great resource!

Find Streaming Videos from John Stossel to engage your students in discussions about interesting and thought-provoking issues. Each month this site posts a new video for your use, and all videos come with suggested discussion questions and quizzes. Also, you will find lots of discussion topics in the archived section titled with categories like the environment, celebrities, and consumer issues, just to name a few. Registration is free; you need to log in to view the teacher's guide and discussion questions! There are some items of interest on the top menu bar: Both Sides of the Issue, Features, Video Library, and Teacher Resources.
tag(s): character education (78), endangered species (27), financial literacy (91), foreign policy (13), news (229), politics (118), video (264)
In the Classroom
Use these streaming videos to help create "background knowledge" for your students and improve listening and note taking skills. Small groups of students could rotate through stations with the video, or you can use it with the whole class. Either way, students can practice their two column (Cornell) note taking skills using the left column for keywords and/or questions and the right side of the paper for important information about the topic they are viewing. Have students discuss and look up answers to their questions. If using the videos as a whole class, you may want to use a discussion program that allows "backchanneling" such as Socrative, so everyone can comment on the issue(s) presented and see each other thoughts. Another idea is to use the videos as a jump-off point for research by small groups. There are many huge topics you can break into parts for small groups to investigate after watching Stossel's take on it. Then challenge the groups to create a multimedia presentation using one of many TeachersFirst Edge tools.
This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

Find great videos to use as an introduction to a unit or to help clarify how a certain process occurs using these visualizations. Use videos on an interactive whiteboard or with a projector. Pause through the video to ask questions about what is happening in the process, explain processes, or have students be able to use appropriate vocabulary to explain. This site is excellent for enrichment. Include it on your class web page for students to access both in and out of class. Challenge students to create their own simple videos to help explain a science concept. Share the videos using using a tool such as SchoolTube reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
