This week's assignment posed a slight dilemma for me. Two years ago, I set up my own professional Youtube channel (msjoanwolf) and began posting educational podcasts. This was before we became a google district with gmail. I have used this channel a lot, have a number of "followers," and have built a bit of an audience over the past few years. Since I've already spent a lot of time and effort on this channel, I'm not sure I want to create a new one through gmail. Youtube will not let you upload the same videos to two different channels so I would have to start over again. So for this assignment, and at this point, I kept my "old" professional channel and uploaded new videos (below.)
I volunteer at the Raptor Center and have seen some amazing, cool, and yes, educational, things. This year, I plan to integrate some fun math facts from the Raptor Center into my HP math classes. The two videos below are of one of our American Bald Eagles enjoying a bath. The other is a very rare chance to hear a Boreal Owl hooting. Boreal Owls are not in this area. They are very far north. So this is something you will not hear in the Twin Cities. I was excited to catch it on tape one day.

Boreal Owl Saying Hello
These are just links to the videos as I am unable to insert videos while being logged in through gmail. Long, complicated story that I haven't figured out the answer to yet. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the videos!
Cool videos. Hopefully you can merge the two! It is frustrating when you try to switch to the new thing but your old ways don't work. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry this assignment proved to be such a headache for you. I think that as long as you already have a professional YouTube account set up, you're fine just using that. The issue is when teachers use an account for home and school and blur the line between those 2 aspects of our lives.
ReplyDeleteYour videos are really cool - how long have you been volunteering at the Raptor Center? P.S. I love your Valentine Hills Loves to Read video! :)
