When you think of technological teaching tools youtube might not be the first thing that you think of. However, youtube holds a special place in my heart as I feel that there is not much you cant learn from youtube. With its wide range of videos you can view a video that teaches you to count or a video that shows the reproduction of cells. Just recently I had an entire class lecture for Cell Molec that consisted of watching youtube videos. We where able to see how the topography of the mitochondria was done as well as see a cell produce proteins and send them into the extracellular matrix. The extend of knowledge gained from these videos would not have been the same as if we were simple reading about it.
As a teacher I don't see a single subject in which youtube might not be incorporated. The possibilities are endless.

I enjoy using YouTube as well. I found extremely helpful when I was studying for the GKE as I was able to find a lot of tutorials.
ReplyDeleteYouTube is a great resource! I like to use it as little add-ins for projects or presentations. For example, my lesson for the flip the classroom, I used a YouTube video for that extra understanding. Also, you are right that there really isn't a subject you can't find on YouTube!
