YouTube Sensation

YouTube has become quite a phenomenon. The above video is of my Alma Mater, The Ohio State University. The student union had just been rebuilt and opened. Some students, with the permission of administrators, created a dance that was filmed during the middle of the school day. Students who were there using the facility had no idea what was going on, but enjoyed the show anyway. This video was posted on YouTube as a way to show the Pride of the Buckeyes. This is just one example of how YouTube can be used in your school or classroom. Some educators are not comfortable with the openness of YouTube, so a sister site was created, TeacherTube. This is a great site for educators and students, it is a way to ensure the material is safe to use inside the classroom. Both of these sites offer great resources to educators and students. Just simply search for a topic of interest, click and play. I have used several videos off both of these sites, of course previewing them before showing students. So what are you waiting for, go look at these sites and see if there is anything that you can use.
