For this week’s post, I wanted to explore the idea of youtube as a tool in education. We were asked to look at a video “An anthropological introduction to YouTube," the video Is the first one posted. One of the ideas discussed by Professor Wecsh was the way in which videos are viewed, and how people have become attached to the videos.
From that idea, I wanted to took up 21st century education to see what I could find. After spending several hours watching videos, I decided that the others shown below were interesting to watch. One was from a group of high school students and their thoughts of what a school will look like in the future. Others are short videos that could be used by administrators to motivate their respective staffs to be comfortable with using technology. With the exception of the first video, all of the others are less than five minutes in length.
Let me know what you think.

I really enjoyed watching the videos you posted. I think my favorite was the last video...it's funny to watch videos of student's perspectives. At the same time, it's amazing how talented our students are when it comes to making videos, editing, and publishing them to the internet. I wish I had access to Youtube in my building, because I think there are a lot of really great videos that can be used in the classroom.

ReplyDeleteThis is a good collection of videos on learning and change. Great discussion starters! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei think students really enjoy watching videos that other students have made. You can use this to get your points across as well as holding the interests of your students. They're short so they can be good transition tools as well.
