YouTube in the Classroom

Yes, we use YouTube in the classroom. Sometimes we reflect on what we've seen - critiquing it for content and meaning. Just last week we watched an old Nike commercial from the 80's during Morning Meeting. The message was powerful...


Other times we use it for a laugh. One day last week we had a couple of minutes before heading off to special areas so I shared a fun video where Jimmy Fallon impersonates Neil Young while singing the popular Willow Smith song "Whip My Hair." If you're a Neil Young fan you'll really like this one. Bruce Springstein makes an appearance at the end...


More and more I'm finding YouTube can be a source of videos demonstrating something we're learning in class. There's a lot out there. Since most of it is not all that helpful (or appropriate) great care has to be taken. If you ever come across something you think will spark a good discussion, inspire someone, or help us to learn about something new please pass it along.
