For this blog post I was assigned to create my own blogging assignment. For this assignment I thought about what we haven't already tackled in EDM 310 in regards to technology, there's not much, but I did think of one thing we haven't talked about and that is YouTube. YouTube, which was created in April 2005, is a popular site which allows people to upload and share their videos. There is no doubt what a huge success YouTube has become exceeding 2 billion views a day, but does it offer any educational value?
Read YouTube: The Next Major Teaching Tool? , written by Anushka Mohideen about the possible educational benefits of YouTube. Also read The Ultimate Guide to YouTube for Educators , which gives a tutorial for using YouTube in the classroom.
What are your reactions to these videos? Do you believe YouTube has any educational value? If so, to what extent?
