It’s Saturday, July 2, 2022, and time for Other Electives at ClickSchooling!

Free DVDs – Stossel in the Classroom

(stosselintheclassroom.org/shop/)

Grades 6 & up (middle school – college level), with parental supervision

A big THANK YOU to ClickScholar Nancy Hogan for recommending this website “Stossel in the classroom.” Sponsored by the Center for Independent Thought (a non-profit educational foundation) it has produced a free DVD each school year that is a compilation of John Stossel’s television programs and specials, along with a teacher guide with lesson plans and ideas for complementary activities. Though they have discontinued their DVDs to focus on streaming videos and other online content, you can still order some of their past editions, and they’re still 100% free, shipping included.

When you get to the site you’ll learn how to register (free) to get past edition DVDs, as well as an accompanying downloadable “Teacher’s Guide” containing lesson plans, activity suggestions, handouts, and vocabulary.

In addition to getting the free DVD and resources, you can use the menu at the top of the home page to watch streaming videos from Stossel on thought-provoking topics in the “Video Library”. These videos cover a variety of categories including business, college, consumer issues, healthcare, law, privacy, and more. You can also search the videos by subject including:

  • Business
  • Government
  • Science
  • Technology
  • Economics
  • Health
  • Physical Education
  • Personal Finance
  • History
  • and much more!

Again, all of this is provided for FREE – they simply request that you send them your feedback on the website and products to share with fellow teachers/educators.

Master Human Anatomy

January 18th, 2022

Anatomy Arcade

(www.anatomyarcade.com/)

HSBC Member Pam M suggested an interactive website, Anatomy Arcade, which makes basic human anatomy come ALIVE through awesome free flash games, interactives and videos created by Ben Crossett a Science and Physical Education teacher at Glen Waverley Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia.

Anatomy Arcade is perfect for the novice teenager in the classroom, right through to students and professionals of health care looking for a fun way to revise.

The price and joy of Anatomy Arcade are the Signature games.

Crosswords are not for the beginner unless you use them like a web quest. The word searches are fun and easy for everyone.

Match Two games are a fun challenge for all and can build strong word/image associations.

Bigfish games with a medical, health and fitness focus.

There is a cost factor to part of this website.

Social Sciences Video & Current Events Newsletter!

November 29th, 2012

Hi! It’s Thursday, November 29, 2012 and time for Social Sciences at ClickSchooling!

Recommended Website:

Izzit.org

http://www.izzit.org

Age Range: 5-18 (Grades K-12, with parental supervision)

I just learned about this non-profit, NON-PARTISAN organization that provides teachers, educators, and homeschoolers with engaging educational videos and materials “to teach the next generation about the ideas, institutions, and benefits of a free society” and foster understanding and support for the foundational ideas of the U.S. republic, such as individual liberty, personal responsibility, and equality before the law.

The site offers a FREE membership program that includes a daily current events newsletter (with two lessons) and provides members with one free educational video (selected from the extensive video catalog) each year. You must register to receive the freebies. There is no shipping or handling charge to get the free DVD, they only require that you provide feedback via their online form.

This site also has a subscription membership that allows members to receive multiple free videos each year and access to “Current Events Lessons” that are archived at the website. But again, you don’t have to purchase a thing to get one free video each year, and the free newsletter with current events lessons and discussion questions.

The videos available at this website promote thoughtful discussion and respectful debate about issues and events to help young people become independent-minded, fully engaged citizens. As explained at the site:

“We ask students to think about the role of government and the importance of voluntary associations in promoting human flourishing. Students gain a greater appreciation for how a free society with a strong rule of law enables a diverse people to coexist, cooperate, and prosper.

“We encourage a healthy skepticism about authoritative claims, so that students learn to seek out evidence rather than accept assertions. In this way, young people develop the ability to use reason and common sense to evaluate the information they will encounter throughout their lives.”

Once you register, you can select a free Social Sciences video from their catalog that includes the following categories:

  • U.S. History & Government
  • World History & Geography
  • Business
  • Economics

BONUS! You’ll also find videos covering Health/Physical Education, Language Arts, Math, Music/Art, and Science/Technology that are aligned with common core educational standards.
