Video #3/#4: Educating children about the effects of climate change
Watch the following two videos that are aimed at teaching children about the effects of climate change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnqJMInH5yM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEdoizgeNJk&feature=related
1. List two benefits and two drawbacks to using this kind of media to teach this information.

-keep the images in their minds
-easily distracted- looks at the images instead of listening to the information
-might get the wrong idea from the video

2. After watching these videos, use YouTube to find and POST LINKS to videos that you feel would be more beneficial to teach the following types of people and WHY!
- If you're trying to teach a older student or an adult, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv7oOgwFNy0 , is a good video. This is because it has actual facts about why the bleaching is occurring and how.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvsaWYFm1_A has good animations to keep the attention of the watcher, but does not distract the watcher from the facts.
