Videos in the Classroom - TT #9

I have a few playlists on YouTube that are prepped for a few units. These include: Grade 10 Health: Drugs and Alcohol, Grade 7/8 Social Studies: Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, Grade 11 History: Canadian History.

I also have a playlist that is strictly for activating students, called Kid Snippets. I highly recommend that all teachers should check them out! Students LOVE them!
