Discover Teacher Tube
Here is what The Scout Report from May 25 says : « Unless you’ve just returned from a long stay in a remote jungle, you’ve probably heard about YouTube, the website where many thousands of cybernauts (nuts?) have posted video clips featuring everything from particle physics to piano-playing cats. Enterprising 21st Century teachers were quick to seize on the potential of YouTube as a classroom resource, but frankly, you have to pan through a lot of muddy material to find the gold. Solution: A new website for educators called TeacherTube which « takes the sharing, production, and community-building aspects of YouTube and offers an educator’s version, » according to a recent story at Edutopia. The site’s founders want to « fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, schools, and home learners. » You can browse what’s already been posted and help this worthwhile project grow by sharing content created by yourself, your students and/or your colleagues! »

Le sujet du bac 2007 métropole est « video game addiction » :
http://anglais.free.fr/sujets/stg_2007.doc
qui présente des enfants malades des jeux vidéos que leurs parents essaient désespérément de désintoxiquer.
La lettre « 21st Century Connections News – May 2007 » démontre l’opposé à travers une étude qui montre que : « Game players are more rooted in reality than film viewers, says a new report published in the UK. The project supports a virtually unanimous opinion among gamers that play does not need lead to real life violence. »
