    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook.

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.
  • Try to find videos that do more than replace your talking head with another. The idea is to change the class pace, not replicate it.
    • Kristina Dvorak
       
      Need to try this for Art History.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • 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."
  • As in the example above, take a few moments to ask for student feedback on what they saw.
  • A good listening exercise is to ask students to jot down the three major points or details they see in the video.
  • This generation of undergraduates grew up with video, but it’s no longer dazzled by it. It sees video as a ubiquitous vehicle in which information is communicated,
  • Third, don’t make the URL public unless your video is good enough to not add to the YouTube clutter, and it won’t get you into trouble. You need to own rights to any images you use before going public, but you can use most things for educational purposes as long as you don’t distribute them.
