Week 7
The great world of YouTube. I wish I was paid for every hour I have spent searching YouTube for videos. I chose the video titled “Top 10 Reason’s to Use a Blog in the Classroom”. I chose this because blogging has been our main way of communication for this class. Also, I thought it would be good to show teachers to help spark an interest in blogging. I like to video because it is from a student’s perspective. I like the auto fill-in tool when typing a search phrase or word. This lets you see what others have used to search. I also like the related videos section when you watch a video. I can see YouTube as a useful components of a library website. Students could watch the news and/or videos instead of reading about them. This would be beneficial for today’s learners as long as the information is coming from a trusted source.
Podcasting, Hmm. I can hear the difference. I listened to one podcast given by two teacher. It was called ”Show 88″ from the The Tech Teachers Show. Show 88 talked about free graphic editing, iPhone apps, quiz maker for blogs, plus many other educational and non-educational technology tools. Teach42. I tried listening to other podcast, but didn’t get very far. I would like to find short 5 minute podcast about some tech tip in education.
