YouTube+for+more+than+watching+movies


 * Brittany's Topic**: [[image:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zNahPJ9Z_cc/Tn-hLJ9H1zI/AAAAAAAAAss/ZNaBkz5MqVE/s200/youtube-education.jpg width="115" height="47"]] **is more than just watching videos!**



__**Watching and Wondering:**__ Youtube is very interactive for teachers to use in and out of their classrooms. Youtube has also helped the teachers keep the students more engaged in and outside the classroom this way the student can become more engaged, and inspire the students to learn the material for the class. In today's world students about 90% of students aging from 5-17, and 59% of the ninety percent use the internet. As more and more teachers start to use the internet and youtube to help engage more students in their classroom I feel that more students will be able to learn and comprehend the material faster and more thoroughly.

However, there are still some questions I need to find out:
 * 1) Will students be disciplined to watch the lessons (on Youtube) the day before class?
 * 2) Is Youtube the best resource for teachers to use in their classrooms?
 * 3) Is their a way for teachers to see who watched the video in their channel on Youtube and if they watched the entire video??
 * 4) How do I find or create the right video that will help the students understand and engage in what they will learn for the next class?
 * 5) How could students use youtube in the classroom?

>> media type="youtube" key="EKfYis19uKg" height="266" width="353" I learned many things I didn't even know existed when I first decided to learn what else YouTube can provide in besides just show movies? I knew there has to be some way teachers can use/create videos to use in their classroom. Therefore, I found many different ways that teachers can use YouTube and these ways are:

 * Teachers can introduce themselves before they begin the school year, and this can help your students understand you and help them feel comfortable with you before the first day of school. The parents can even meet the teacher as well and get to know the teacher.
 * __Wishing:__**
 * Create or find videos that explain the teachers lesson for that day.
 * Create the teachers own channel where students can upload stuff on their page like student projects, assignments and more
 * Students can also find videos from the teacher channel that shows or goes over the lesson they missed or just didn't understand that day, and they can also receive the assignment if they missed class or if they forgot to write it down or even lost it!
 * Teachers can also help engage more students in the lesson for that day by adding videos.
 * You can create quizzes with videos connected with them that they take over what you learned.
 * Review for upcoming exams
 * Most importantly being to help engage students more on learning new material for each class you teach.
