Thing #8

This video is kind of cute, although the music is extremely repetitive

Overall, I think youtube and other "tubes" can be very useful in learning.  If nothing else, they give teachers and students more options for conveying material.  We know that students learn in different ways, and maybe for some, visual learning is the only method for them.

There are clearly some issues to bring up though.  Appropriate use can be an issue with youtube because there is soooo much other crap on there besides educational material.  Thus, it is currently blocked for most of our computers at the high school. 

Teachertube is an awesome resource though and one that I am sure to go back to.
