Here are a couple of quick and fun links I wanted to share with you about the joys and benefits of YouTube in education...
This link sends you to a collection of some of the best YouTube videos for teachers. There are instructional videos to show your class, videos to instruct YOU on how to do various things with and for your class, as well as some videos that are just mean to inspire you or make you laugh :)
This article has a very easy to understand description of various Web 2.0 tools, including YouTube, and the benefits of using them in the classroom.
YouTube isn't as controlled as other sites such as TeacherTube so you obviously need to screen all videos before sharing with your students, and take into consideration if the video is violating any copyright laws. However, if you can get past both of those roadblocks, it can be a great way to engage your students!
