During my teaching days I remember how useful videos such as this one were. I could set it up the night before and students would be attentive and intrigued that their teacher created it. I used it as a model for older students to create their own.

Quizzes are a great way to entice interest in a topic. It also teaches how to ask questions. Developing responsible and useful ways to use computer technology is important.

You could use the video with a book about sea turtles. Pause the video after each question and find out the answer in the book. This is one example on how parents and teachers can use this video as a teaching tool.

After watching the video, set up a sand box and a cup of water with figurines of the lifecycle of a Turtle for children to act out the turtle’s story. Write it down or film it.

Adapt to the child’s interest and level.

I created this video because I find turtles interesting. They are mysterious creatures and it seems there is a lot more we can learn about them.

Years ago I taught a Grade 3 class and I entered my class into a Turtle naming contest. A real live one! Turtles are tracked by scientists to protect them and learn more about them. Ours was one of the winners and the turtle’s name we thought of was ZIG ZAG. I sometimes wonder how ZIG ZAG is.
