** Building a Video Resources Library as a Teacher **

As new teachers, you will discover that it is relatively easy to find Internet videos; the major challenge will have is locating school accessible, content specific, curriculum-enhancing educational resources to enrich your teaching. Worried about age-inappropriate online material, many schools block access to YouTube and other video sharing sites, thus limiting their use by teachers.

When teachers create their own personal video channel, they are able to build a pre-selected library of the best materials for classroom use. There are choices of tools and strategies for new teachers to use including The Teacher’s Channel on YouTube, the YouTube Educational Channel, Creative Commons-licensed Videos, and the YouTube Video Editor.

In this creating your digital identity as a teacher activity, you can use both YouTube Creative Commons and YouTube Video Editor to commence building a library of your own educational video resources.

To start, view “How to Start Your Own YouTube Channel” on YouTube. Then, create an account at [|www.youtube.com]

While creating your account, choose how to customize your Channel page by deciding about privacy settings, profile data, and the types of videos you want to select for the “subscribers” (students and other teachers).

Next, locate the YouTube editor at: [|www.youtube.com/editor] and while in editor, click on the Creative Commons tab marked “CC.” to conduct a Creative Commons search**.** In the Creative Commons search, you will find videos that can re-used by the public without permission. Videos on Creative Commons are searchable by categories and available for downloading and editing so they are fully customizable without violating any copyright laws.

Once you have found a video to use in your classroom, drag it to the video editing area to try adding music and sound effects. When you finish, rename your video and click the publish button. Your video will be added to your YouTube Channel. After you have posted five videos on your channel, then share your selections with students and colleagues.

A different view of Maslow's Hierarchy Our perception changed the day we began asking one simple question: ‘What is the best part of your day?’ Over and over again, we heard that the best part of their day was when they could help others and share what they know - from where to buy a bus pass and writing a resume to cooking and painting. A common way of thinking about the homeless is with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, describing that the most fundamental of needs (like food and water) must be served before one can move up into other needs (such as self-esteem and being part of a community). Many social service agencies work extremely hard to provide the homeless with these fundamental goods and services. But we believe they are not enough to lift someone out of homelessness. If you consider Maslow’s hierarchy from a bird’s eye point of view, self-actualization is at the core of what makes us human. It is an innate human need for us to not just be able to live, but also to have the desire to live. That desire is often what separates between the chronically homeless and the ones that are trying to change their situations. For homeless people to feel empowerment to change their situations, we began to look at how they could help others; thereby, how the homeless could achieve self-actualization [|(2012).]
