Young children often enjoy learning new things by watching videos on a computer. When discussing a certain topic such as zoo or farm animals teachers often read books about the topic. Showing videos is another good way to engage the children in the learning process. Using a video can also allow children to see things or places that they may never be exposed to otherwise.
I chose two videos from Teacher Tube. These videos would be good to show the children in preparation for field trips to the zoo and the farm. I have posted the hot links to both videos below...

Try to embed videos...giving the url is good, but actually have them available directly is even better!

I think using videos is a great way to get kids attention and extend learning.
