I am constantly amazed by the videos I find on You Tube and its sister Teacher Tube. You can view YouTube videos on your computer, your phone, your TV, your site. I'm dating myself but I remember when a filmstrip once every few months was a big deal! Students today are bombarded with an incredible number of images daily - helpful to remember when trying to capture their attention! From the sublime to the ridiculous, it's a site to consider for inspiration and information however using it in a school setting can be somewhat problematic. Some schools block access to the site and some of the suggested videos and comments can be inappropriate for school.

I watched many filmstrips in school also. Everyone wanted to be the person to be in charge of advancing it when the recording dinged! Imagine trying to pull off showing one of those today.
ReplyDeleteI am tempted to try it. I do wonder what the reaction would be!
