Obama’s Inauguration Speech
What it is: Barak Obama’s inauguration speech is taking place tomorrow morning! Make sure that your students (regardless of age) are a part of this historic moment. Wouldn’t it be neat if your students remembered sitting in your classroom watching and discussing the speech? Hulu is going to host the speech live. Because traffic to Hulu is bound to be heavy, I am also going to embed the speech right here on iLearn Technology. Feel free to come here and watch the speech with me!
How to integrate Obama’s Inauguration Speech into the classroom: It isn’t every day that you can watch history in the making live in your classroom! This is a historic moment that every student should be a part of. Come back to iLearn Technology or Hulu to view the speech live. It might be fun to make up a speech bingo card and see how many of the words students can pick out of the speech. I’m sure a ready made bingo card will pop up somewhere! If it does, I will update this post with the link.
Tips: It will be interesting to see what people are saying about the speech via Twitter!

Clicky Live
What it is: Clicky Live is a free Internet safety webcast for kids being held on December 10, 2008. Clicky is the NetSmartz kids robot and is an expert on Internet safety. This year, Clicky wants to make sure kids ages 5-10 have all the tools they need to stay safe online. The NetSmartz live webcast will engage kids in a dialogue about Internet safety through chat or call in features, allowing them to have an interactive experience with Clicky. You can sign up individuals or a whole class for Clicky Live by RSVPing and submitting questions to Clicky for the show. There is also a step-by-step guide to facilitating the Clicky Live show and accompanying NetSmartz activity pages.
How to integrate Clicky Live into the classroom: Clicky Live can be enjoyed by a group of students or individual students. The Clicky Live event is held on December 10, 2008 at 5pm and 7pm EST, because most kids are out of school at this time, you can send fliers home to encourage students and parents to participate individually, hold an Internet safety night where parents and students can come back to school for a Clicky Live event, or use Clicky Live in an after school program. Be sure to check out the step by step guide to facilitating the Clicky Live show for some great ideas.
Tips: Offer extra credit to those students who participate in Clicky Live at home with their families.
