Utube has become one of my favorite internet places! If a student doesn’t know how to do something – from working a math problem to understanding a concept in biology – they use Utube to look it up and try to figure it out. Then, if they still need help, I’m available. Using Utube as a learning tool makes students more independent! Encouraging them to look there before asking for help makes students more independent.
You Tube has some great videos for teaching sight words, letters and sound, just about any concept you are wanting to teach or reinforce. Also interactive books are great for the little ones. To me it is like Google, just you tube it
I've used the Edutube videos for instruction with adults for things such as incremental rehearsal, ABA sessions, almost anything you'd want to see in action. Motivated parents can access the videos and help out with interventions at home as well.
I'd never heard of EduTube before now (At least I don't remember hearing about it, haha!), but will definitely have to check it out as a possible home resource for parents like you suggested. Thanks!!!
I love You Tube! I use it in my reading classes to watch short video clips to provide visuals and background information. For example, we are currently in a poetry unit. The watched Dr. Seuss video books when we discussed rhyme and tomorrow we will be watching videos about poetry in music. After Christmas we worked though Informational text-Biography unit and used You Tube to watch videos on the Santa Fe Trail and Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech. We used to read the speech in class but it was much more effective to watch and listen to the speech!
I use You Tube in my room quite a bit. We use it to provide information or to do projects. The only thing is to make sure to monitor kids when they are using it watch a video for a math problem or something.
I'm using YouTube more and more at school. I used it quite a bit as I was teaching American History to a functional student. I found some short videos on major events in U.S. History that held her attention and gave some good information.
YouTube is amazing. If I ever need any type of tutorial, video snippit, you name it, YouTube has it. It's also very handy for when I'm not doing a very good job of explaining something to someone. I can typically just YouTube it, and have numerous visual/auditory options at my disposal that do a much better job of communicating the point I'm trying to get across.
I agree with you it is amazing to use when a concept is not clicking with students and you are struggling connecting the concepts. It is another way of engaging the child with the concept because it is more fun to watch a video that teaches them the same thing then listen to you trying to explain it.
Utube is something that I use everyday with my kindergarten students. I have 2 students that come to me first thing in the morning to help them to transition into their day. I have a video ready for them for the letter of the week that they are able to watch using Utube then we practice letters and sounds. We also do brain wave as a way to get their brain ready to learn. It is a great source to use for anything in the classroom. You can usually find whatever you need on Utube.
