This week in our American History class we are looking at American expansionism and imperialism and what would be a better way to teach this than by playing Van Halen ‘Panama’ while showing this time lapse photo. It is rumored that their history teacher may pretend to be Diamond Dave at the request of some students.
We can’t use Youtube in the building so I used a trial version of Camtasia to screen capture it and saved it on a flash drive.

Very cool time lapse. I’ve always loved this stuff. I know you will keep some learners attention just because it is a time lapse video. =0)

We were studying the Progressive Era and I had my kids look at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. I found a You Tube someone made with about the fire using AC/DC’s Thunderstruck. There were actually some better videos out there but I decided to show them the one with the rock music. I must say I have never had them so attentive. Here is the link.
