Thing 13: Using YouTube

I created an account with my Google information and it was very easy to upload the video. I decided to upload a Photostory I created in my social studies class about individuals (Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Banneker, Cesar Chavez, Ruby Bridges, and Rosa Parks) who changed their community.

Here is my video.



There are many advantages of having teaching/learning videos online because parents, students, and other teachers can access the videos. If students are able to upload their work, they will learn that their work can influence others. At the same time, web safety would be essential instruction when uploading the videos.

I did not know about TeacherTube and SchoolTube, so I am glad I was able to learn about them. I searched for videos in TeacherTube and it is a great resource because the videos are made specifically for the classroom.
