= = = On-Line Videos =

On-line Videos can be used by both students and teachers. Various sites exist on-line that contain educational videos that focus on a specific topic (ex. the Civil War). These videos can be viewed directly from the website, embedded into another website (such as your own SFC webpage!), or saved to your computer. From any of these locations, the video can be used as an extension of a lesson, an enhancement to a lesson, or a lesson all by itself. Students can view the videos as a class or independently as an assignment.

Teachers can benefit from on-line videos, also. There are numerous sites that offer teacher-training and professional development videos. There are also "How To" videos on subjects such as technology, science, and even solving math problems.

//Here is an example of a "How To" video that is geared toward Technology Integration in the History/Geography classroom: //

A web widget is a non-static gadget that can be added to a website, wiki, blog, etc. The widget is added to the page by using a line of "code" that is reused over and over to run the same action. Widgets can include: clocks, event countdowns, auction-tickers, stock market tickers, flight arrival information, daily weather, games, comics, etc.
