2.Visit my AATF Ohio link to download a fabulous music powerpoint with very current artist/hits information and some associated student activities to accompany several music selections. Here is a sample: La Roue Tourne - Zaho exercise: media type="youtube" key="roLkw3PS25E" height="344" width="425"

Note - Also available are ideas for teaching Le Roi Soleil, useful materials for French Advocacy, and more.

I often go to http://videos.tf1.fr/video/musique/ to see what is new and “hot”, then download the songs from Youtube, Daily Motion, or Teacher Tube so that my students can listen.Students sometimes also bring me "requests for download " of things they have seen while browsing French music at home. Note that informing your students that you have embedded their favorite piece of music (or even a shortened clip of the music) on your wiki will encourage them to visit the wiki, where you can "trap them" into looking at other things, too, or have them do an exercise!

http://juanfrance.podomatic.com/ is a favorite source that compiles many songs found in several places, including YouTube. Quite a few are subtitled in French for Karaoke - a real bonus!

Several French teachers have a “favorite song list” on YouTube…I hunt for these under subject or teacher name. Here is a good one: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=4B0D52B8C83629C7

Example of Karoake for songs we hear in movies: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=XsyXUowuHy8&feature=related Les Choristes media type="youtube" key="XsyXUowuHy8" height="344" width="425"

A number of children's songs are easy to understand, good for grammar and vocabulary, amusing and pleasant to view. Following are three of them… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrJ_0RBPM5Q&eurl=http:**//**madameshackelford.wikispaces.com/Favorite+Music+Clips (Ilona Mitrecy)

 * Sample listening exercise** on my wiki for iPhone --very easy to comprehend, even for level I students (Scroll toward bottom of page.)

[|A Tool for Finding Publicités] I also look for specific car ads, food ads, and a variety of other products…These go very well with lessons and are easy to understand, and they add a cultural element. Occasionally I find short, clear interviews, also.

Kid Cartoons – Tchoupi (just one example) is a favorite: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=hDA5-e8lCpE&feature=related

News: TF1 (a TV station) often has great interviews and cultural segments.Sometimes I pull these straight from their website, and these are often just for ME, as well as for classes! http://videos.tf1.fr/video/news/0,,4119768,00-le-journal-televise-du-12-octobre-2008-20h-.html Selected videos from [|euronewsfr] are available on Youtube.

Learning Technology**—Teacher Tube AND YouTube offer filmed instructions in just about anything imaginable. Here’s just one example: http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=cb3860f2a6d4b38c6490 Podcasting, Using Audacity media type="custom" key="2348255"

The AATF web site now offers a [|PowerPoint done by Jayne Abrate that demonstrates possible ways to incorporate YouTube videos] in lesson plans...

[|ADODOC] - a collection of audio and video activities based on French TV and radio

There are also downloadable videos for French teachers available[| here].

And, from Nikky in Vermont (courtesy of FLTeach): Bonsoir FLTEACH, I just stumbled upon a wonderful series on youtube that was broadcasted on M6. "Avez-vu deja vu" clips are a series of 40 sec videos with great snippets of vocab and very engaging videos. There are many! Many are appropriate for school (at many levels), some are not, but I showed some today to my students and they loved them! Here is an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhvHhDbvCSw (Le film d'horreur des bonbons)

The voices are some of the French heavy hitter acteurs/comics...you will definitely recognize some of them. What a find!
