Did you know that YouTube has an Education channel and a U.S. Government channel ??? Check them out! They are very interesting. One of my favorite videos is here.
Now I will keep in mind that there's more to YouTube than meets the eye. TeacherTube, SchoolTube, and the various topics on YouTube Blog can provide anyone with a wide variety of options for their next project.
In Thing #4, I'm learning how to upload a video to YouTube. Thanks to the videos (before and after) and this set of instructions, I think I'm ready.
Questions to consider:
What would be some advantages of having teaching/learning videos available on online at sites like these? For teachers and students to have easy access to learning materials (i.e. educational videos) is one of the best things ever. It enhances the learning process of the kids... And less time for teachers to talk as we become even more like facilitators...
What about student created work -- would there be advantages to having it uploaded? Absolutely! It's easy, the kids don't have to worry about dragging their project to school, and the kids would LOVE to learn through these online visual aids. Plus, I think it makes it easier on the teachers to grade and observe if the student mastered the objectives.
Here's my uploaded video to YouTube :) What do you think?
