(Bloom, 2009). YouTube is a viable Web 2.0 technology that educators can
use in instruction in multiple ways. Although potential challenges exist because
of copyright and access, there are ways around that. YouTube is
an innovative technology tool that teachers can commit to using in their
classrooms as they engage 21st century learners. However, teachers must
be cautioned against using the technology simply because it is there. Verifying
the credibility of each video that is viewed and evaluating each
one for quality is a must when maximizing the YouTube experience for
students.

You are so very right about this topic! I listen to many lession's on You Tube.. We no longer have to catch a plan or drive long way's inorder to be there in class rooms ect.. Great point!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the article, they should be evaluated for content. Also, there should be a limit on the usage of it in the classroom. I do belive there is a lot of great and useful information on You Tube but caution is necessary
ReplyDeleteOf course the ability to learn online without leaving your bed is great, but I believe it could foster laziness... What do you think Flory?
