WGBH Teacher Domain

I watched the video on Global Warming and i found it quite interesting. I feel like i could use this technology in and out of the classroom. Teachers could plan ahead on their lessons and have videos like this available in their classrooms. I feel like as a teacher you personally need to interact with your students but it's not such a bad idea to have a backup plan if something were to happen. Now almost everyone has access to the Internet so teachers could also post these videos on the Internet for students who have missed class or for those who do quite catch on so quickly.
The video i watched was about global warming. It talked about how carbon dioxide contributes to global warming. They show a special heat radiated camera that picks up heat radiation from body heat. Someone sits in front of the camera and it show them in color. When you turn on the gas the image fades. To pretty much wrap the lesson up the earth warms when carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere.
