Aaahh Youtube. Way too many videos to look at! I have used Youtube many times to search to random news stories that I heard about and wanted to see the 'whole' story. In my school Youtube is blocked, for obvious reasons. But we can use Teachertube which has some good videos. I have tried to use a few clips in conjunction with my lessons without much success. Seems there was always a downloading or converter problem. Plus the 25 inch T.V. in the corner of my large classroom just isn't big enough for students to see. Eventually, I would like to bring in my projector and connect it to my computer and show clips that way.
I really enjoyed the Taylor Mali clips. I even emailed the links to some teacher friends. The proofreading clip was hilarious. I will photocopy really funny papers like that to save and read and share on bad days. Sometimes I even read to students before the write a paper.
