Recently I learned of a web site where students and teachers could post science videos. I had a couple of lab groups make a video and get it posted. These were students who normally barely get by in class. Finally, I found something to motivate them and make them think about science and why they were doing a lab activity. The site is www.testtoob.com. You need to sign up for a membership but it is free and easy.
They don't have very many life science videos yet. This could be a project that you could do with your BioClub members. Have fun and I'll be watching the site for new videos.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful web-site. I really enjoyed watching your students work with the agar, and I am sure that they relished the idea of being on camera as well!!! Keep up the great work, and thanks again for the posting.

Thanks for watching their video George. I think those students were scared to death of the camera and their instructions were sort of muddled, but like I said it did get them interested and they repeated the lab a couple of times. At the time the video was made two of those girls were failing biology. Hard to believe but they've now turned their grades around. I somehow think making the video and me trying to help them along with it changed their attitude.
