Selected social media for classroom use: YouTube
By this point, you can you tell me already
- How might it be useful in teaching?
- What concerns do / should you have about using it with students?
Two uses that I'd like to highlight
- Cultural geography
- Train-packing, 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ScexNfYbBQ
- Train-packing, 1991: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf8Ig2M3Zq0
- History
- TRoosevelt Oath of Office, 1905: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDEHuPaFzSU
- Palestine in 1896 (Lumiere Brothers): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN-DoJXAL94
...and one technological essential: embedding videos. For example, here is the 2008 train video embedded in a webpage.
