YouTube


What is YouTube?

YouTube allows billions of people to discover, watch and share originally-created videos. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small (YouTube, 2015).

I enjoy lessons that incorporate Youtube videos, I think they make the lesson more fun and engaging. It has a massive database of educational resources. It is a good use of using video to inform students about a topic.

I have used this in my teaching and find it engages them more. It is ideal for creating discussions.  I have used this as Flipped learning so the student watches the video at home and the next day we can talk about it.

In my teaching I would definitely use this application. 

Advantages to my teaching and my students:

  • Its FREE
  • Portable - online or offline
  • Students can watch from home

Disadvantages

  • time consuming sourcing the correct content


This is definitely a thumbs up for me
