"However, like everything YouTube does, captions face a tremendous challenge of scale. Every minute, 20 hours of video are uploaded. How can we expect every video owner to spend the time and effort necessary to add captions to their videos? Even with all of the captioning support already available on YouTube, the majority of user-generated video content online is still inaccessible to people like me. To help address this challenge, we've combined Google's automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology with the YouTube caption system to offer automatic captions, or auto-caps for short. Auto-caps use the same voice recognition algorithms in Google Voice to automatically generate captions for video. The captions will not always be perfect (check out the video below for an amusing example), but even when they're off, they can still be helpful-and the technology will continue to improve with time. In addition to automatic captions, we're also launching automatic caption timing, or auto-timing, to make it significantly easier to create captions manually. With auto-timing, you no longer need to have special expertise to create your own captions in YouTube. All you need to do is create a simple text file with all the words in the video and we'll use Google's ASR technology to figure out when the words are spoken and create captions for your video. This should significantly lower the barriers for video owners who want to add captions, but who don't have the time or resources to create professional caption tracks."

Automatic captions in YouTube in many languages PLUS: You can type up your own captions and upload and YouTube times them automatically through text-to-speech. Then, you can download the text file with the timings next to the captions. If this really works, wow!

This is an awesome YouTube channel by Sylvia Duckworth. I would use her Chansons au Powerpoint to pre-teach vocabulary and then reinforce the learning with the music/PowerPoint combination.  Other videos offer a plethora of topics that can be used in your classroom.  Her use of GoAnimate inspires me to have my students create similar projects to tell stories.   

I have just uploaded a couple of videos onto youtube going through some German grammar. At the moment I have done accusative and dative pronouns and adjective endings following indefinite articles.

Very professional explanation.

Make your youtube videos a quiz or create an interactive create your own adventure story. Start the story, students create the endings as videos and users can choose which ending they want, or have students first create the middles and then choose a middle different from their own to then create an ending. What are your ideas?

"Domenico Modugno: Amara terra mia (con sottotitoli dinamici) Stesso video di quello caricato da http://www.youtube.com/user/torreggiara in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UlkxRs42bM , ma con la foto di Modugno sostituita da sottotitoli dinamici (a karaoke) OK: non ha molto senso aggiungere sottotitoli CC quando ci sono già quelli a karaoke nel video, però se qualcuno li volesse tradurre in un'altra lingua, è più comodo."
