- 8. 10 Ways to Use in the Classroom
- 9. 1 Spark Lively Discussions Teachers Engage students by showing a video relevant to their lives. Video clips can bring in different perspectives or force students to consider a new viewpoint, helping to spark a discussion. Click on next slide to check out this Science video as a great example.
- 10. 2 Organize all the great video content you find Playlists are YouTube's way of allowing you to organize videos on the site: a playlist is a series of videos you put together - they don't have to be videos you uploaded, and you get to choose the order. When one video ends, the playlist plays the next video without offering 'related videos', thus creating a curated environment for your students. Therefore, by creating playlists of videos you can select which YouTube videos you want your students to view. Watch the Dynamic Earth Processes playlist for a good example. Click link to view sample
- 11. 3 Archive your work Teachers Capture and save projects and discussions so you can refer back to them year after year. This will also help you save time as you can assign old videos to your new students. For example, this teacher created a video explaining a plot diagram that she drew. Because it is video, it is archived on YouTube and can easily be shared with other teachers.
- 12. 4 Allow students to dig deeper into a subject Give students the option to dig deeper into a subject by creating a playlist of videos related to that concept. By creating playlists of relevant videos you allow students to pursue their interests without wasting their time searching for information (or finding potentially objectionable content). Here is a sample playlist a teacher created for their students on Math Story Problems. Click link to view sample
- 13. 5 Get struggling students up to speed, Teachers and push strong students ahead Videos (or playlists) can help supplement in class teaching for struggling students. Students can review them at home time so you're not forced to teach exclusively to the middle 50%. YouTube user piazzaalexis created videos aligned with the state standards so students who needed to review a particular standard could get the help they needed. Watch it now.
- 14. 6 Review for upcoming exams Teachers Turn test review and flashcards into easy-to-watch videos. This way students can hear your explanations as they study. Watch an example of a review for a Medieval Japan test. You can also create a "test review" video students can use to study the night before the big test.
- 15. 7 Create a YouTube center in your classroom When working in stations or centers, have students use your YouTube channel to complete an assignment, freeing you up to work with small groups of students. Divide your class into groups and have them rotate through different stations. At the YouTube station, introduce students to new information, allowing you to help students practice their new found skills
- 16. 8 Create quizzes to accompany videos for instant feedback Create a Google Form that students complete after watching a video. You can use this quiz to get instant feedback on what they're learning. Embed your quiz on a class blog or site so students can watch a video and complete the quiz at the same time. View an example of this in action. Click link to view sample
- 17. 9 Create Interactive Video Quests Teachers Use YouTube annotations to create "Choose your own adventure" style video quests. View an example now. You can also create a video guide. Click link to view sample
- 18. 10 Flip your classroom Teachers If your students watch a video of the basic concepts at home you can focus in class on applying those concepts, working collaboratively with their classmates rather than simply listening to you lecture. View an example now.
