Youtube is a wonderful tool to use in the classroom. We are working with a new generation of students, who use technology in their day to day life. So why not meet them where they are at.

Youtube.com has many great videos for all subjects and ages. Here are some of my favorites that I have used in various classes I have taught.

Tips for Youtube.com

 

 

1. Sometimes there are commercials for youtube. Make sure you have loaded the video in advance, and the commercial has already run before class. Sometimes the commercials are not school appropriate.

 

2. If you find a really good video, sometimes the creators of that video made more in a series. Check to see if they have their own website.

 

3. Please make sure you watch the video all the way through before you show it to the class. Surprises are never good!
