Ed Tech Standard 8- Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities.

ISTE- Empowered Learner- I use technology to set goals, work towards achieving them and demonstrate my learning.

I made a Playlist on YouTube of songs appropriate for Kindergartners and even some 1st graders. A lot of the songs can be used for Opening/Morning Calendar or Circle time. I liked finding songs that would teach the kids the months of the year and the days of the week, and some moving around songs to get some wiggles out.   the Patriotic songs were fun and I like the idea of having a portion of the morning meeting focused on learning the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem. I would definitely use YouTube as a resource in my classroom. I feel like kids love videos and songs and they are able to catch and keep their attention longer, especially at this young age.
