Thing #20: YouTube, TeacherTube and Zamzar
As I mentioned last time, I've used YouTube in the classroom before. This is the first time I've embedded a video. Turns out to be so easy, a child can do it.
Embedding video is a useful tool because it gives students access to the video that you want them to watch and no others. As I said about Google Search, sometimes just being on YouTube can lead to some quite inappropriate videos or even video titles. I saw that there was an option to not include "related videos" at the end (which I have enabled in the video below), which I'm highly thankful for. Again, sometimes the videos YouTube suggests are decidedly not what you want to see. I am very seriously considering embedding all videos I show in the classroom from now on.
In conclusion, I love They Might Be Giants.
