The video above is a simple educational video from youtube about colors. The creator of this video (ELF Learning) has so many educational videos that I love! As we become teachers, we have to become aware of ways to keep our students' attention. At home, most kids have game systems, cell phones, computer, tv's, and so many more electronics. What makes you think that you will be able to keep a child's attention with just a lecture and traditional chalk board? I think youtube videos are a great way to keep their attention. It is such a fun way to learn.
I like youtube a lot. However, I do not like how easy it is to find videos that are not appropriate. I feel that if youtube was permitted in the classroom, it would have to have major restrictions. I do think it is a very useful tool for teachers.
