- Understand how to use YouTube in the classroom for your creativity.
- Understand how to leverage YouTube for your students.
Airstrike on Your Position? (feat. Ashton Edminster) - Gaming video; please excuse the use of guns. Created by Nate Trillo, a young man who is currently a senior in high school and a UIL state award winner.
Why look at YouTube as a tool for learning?
- Spark Curiosity
- Embrace the mess
- Practice Reflection
"If we embrace a new paradigm as cultivators of curiosity and inquiry, we might bring a little more meaning to their school day and spark their imagination." ~ Ramsey Musallam
How do we use YouTube? How do students use it?
- To learn how to do things!
Does your school use filtered YouTube for Schools? Some Rules to Follow before approving a video in YouTube for Schools:
- Watch every second of the video before showing/sharing/approving
- Use videos with an instructional goal in mind
- Don't allow students to do their content search within YouTube...Google will do the trick!
YouTube Creator Studio
- Has free music you can add to your videos. Some require attribution and give you the info you need to add to your video project.
- You can upload video and add basic edits to it
- Add stock video, transitions, still pictures, music, filters
Create an Animated Gif from a YouTube Video
- Pull up a YouTube video
- In the video URL in the address bar, type "gif" in front of YouTube (after the period)
Use TubeChop to show just part of a video.
Use ViewPure to block all of the related videos, comments, etc, on a video on YouTube
