Thing #21

Let me just start by saying thank you to my son who helped me with the audio.  I found the background music I wanted to add but could not figure out how to actually upload it.  The Music is from the Index of Native American Music Resources on the Internet and the photos are from a series from the Smithsonian which were free to use.  I could not figure out how to navigate Creative Commons, do not ask me why.  This Animoto Short was created with my class of four years old students in mind.  The teacher talks about Native American Pow-Wows during the Thanksgiving Unit.  I have noticed, in general, the students have no idea what the teacher is talking about.  This 30 second introduction, which could be made longer, would help the children understand what she was referring to.  The only part of the process I was hung up on was the audio, the Web site itself was down so I was not able to utilize their support.  I like the idea of short video clips, especially with young children.
