TEACHERTUBE- 60 sec. history

http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?title=U_S__History_in_60_Seconds__&video_id=3173


    I really liked this link, a lot of information was given in a small amount of time. I also cover most of these sections in my American History classes. I think that this is a good link to show at the begining of the school year. I can put this video up, and have the students watch it, then add an activity along with it. Such as having the students answer the question on a sheet of paper, “What events did you see in this video?”. I believe that this will lead to a great discussion, as well as the fact that I can stop the video at certain parts and we can have a small discussion of what my students already know.
