YouTube, Teacher Tube and Google are all excellent way to help aid in teaching a lesson. However, there are pros and cons to each. In this blog, I will be exploring the differences of each and the concerns versus the importance of each.
As an instructor my main concerns with viewing YouTube and Google Videos is the presence of advertisements. Sometimes inappropriate adds appear on these sites that, as a teacher, I would not want my students to view, much less in my own classroom.
Teacher Tube is a wonderful site. I love the effectiveness and content within this site. The value of this site is wonderful, with the many ways to teach and view material with students to help convey thoughts and ideas.
Integrating TeacherTube would be very easy to do. When teaching a concept, videos and clips are a wonderful way to capture students attention and connect them with the material in way that could not be accomplished otherwise. In many of my own lesson plans, The Magic School Bus videos have been as excellent way to integrate technology into a lesson. These videos really get the students imagination going and they are excited to learn in the process, which makes the teaching even more effective.
