Professionally, there are many useful examples about how to use Skype: Connecting with international classrooms, guest lecturers, interviews, and other examples.

Essay on how to use YouTube as a teaching tool | Inside Higher Ed - 2 views

  • Look for videos of under 10 minutes in length. There are uploads of entire documentaries, movies, shows, etc. but you probably can’t devote one or more classes entirely to that source.

  • Those who already use PowerPoint in classes can simply copy the URL of the clip selected, paste it into a slide, hit the space bar, and the link becomes "live."

    I have always lectured about the Cold War but this would be a much more interesting way for students to learn about it, teach each other about it, comment and do analysis.
