I love this video and I think it really sums up what this course is all about. This really put it in to perspective for me and I think every teacher should watch this.
How can I use You Tube in my classroom?
Considering the world wide phenomenon that is You Tube, there is no denying that it is an excellent resource and tool. You Tube could be used in classroom in a variety of ways to engage, inspire and motivate students. This tool enables students to see what happens all around the world both good and bad. You Tube can be used in a number of different ways such as, exposing students to situations that they have never been in, providing expert opinions for student research, exposing students to new and exciting ways to present information. This relates to both the Engagement Theory (Keirley & Schneiderman, 1999) and the Learning Design Framework (Oliver, 1999) as creates authentic, engaging and complex learning experiences when used in a variety of ways.
I believe You Tube is a very valuable resource to be used in classroom to motivate and encourage students to do their best. I think You Tube can engage learners and does not enrage them, and that has to be good!
