Week 12 - Earth & Space Science (WGBH)

The Teachers domain adds many what I would call "Discovery/History Channel" type learning programs. I watched some of the Earth & Space Science informational videos on the formation of the Earth and the unique abundance of life on her, as found nowhere else in the solar system.

I remember being in school and watching these types of films on real top real projectors and I do remember them being hard to come by for teachers, and they were always a welcome treat for us, or at least, something different from the regular doldrums of sitting in class all day.

I would take great advantage of this in giving my students something new and exciting to look forward to every week, or even, many times a week. The more a student experiences audio and visual learning to aid the class lecture and general reading of texts, I believe the better the learning experince for that student.
