What do you like or dislike about YouTube? Did you find videos that would be useful for teaching and learning? Is YouTube restricted in your building?
I love YouTube! We used to spend money on videos for classrooms and have to save up for them. Instead now I have a huge variety of multimedia resources available in an instant. Sometimes I'm looking for a hook for a lesson and have found great resources on youtube. I have used the order of operations umbrella song in my class. The students love it and it is more up to date then some of the older songs we have used in Math classes. Just today when I was searching for that song I saw that there is a new order of operations song to the tune of a Bruno Mars song. YouTube is constantly updated so the students can relate to it. The umbrella song will be an oldie in a few years. Maybe I need to look at this Bruno Mars song to replace it. In 5 years I'm sure there will be a new rendition to the tune of a popular song of that time.
