Vidcast Video


My video is Baby Ruth History
The  Curriculum is for History II.


I didn't think I could do a video or put something on You Tube.  It was a fun thing for me to learn.  The video we did was based on the History of the naming of Baby Ruth.  Most people think that Baby Ruth was based on the Baseball star Babe Ruth.  It was based on the daughter of President Cleveland.  This can lead to a discussion of the Presidency of Grover Cleveland and how he brought prestige back to the Presidency.  There has been nothing but weak presidents since Abraham Lincoln.

It could also be used for to show to show what was happening in the 1920's (baseball, politics, business, Industry, family lives of the Presidents).

This can be a good filler, attention getter, or introduction to life in the 20's.

This video has a fat man as the subject and it is really corny.  It is very amateurish but real.  It is kind of fun.
I would rather have a more professional version,   I am going to work on this.

I will use this process.  I learned about how I can put You Tube Videos in my Resource file on my website.  I am very happy for this experience.  I am going to start work on Videos that I can use for my classroom.  I am very thrilled.  I learned how to post a video to You Tube.  I learned how to send a You Tube video to my gmail address.  I was connect it to my Resource file under a clean connection.  I am very grateful for this experience.
