Thing 9
You can spend all day on You Tube. It seems that the amount of videos are infinite . What I like about searching for videos on You Tube is the "endless" list of videos available that relate to your topic. However, you do get some video on the suggestion list that have nothing to do with what you are looking for. Although our students at our school cannot access You Tube, the sight has so many possibilities in the classroom. For example, if you are studying a particular theme or unit, you can search You Tube to find video related content. I find that videos are a great hook for our students and can get them interested in a topic of study. If I have a projector in my classroom, I would utilize You Tube more often.

I agree with your suggestion of the projector. I think that would be an easier way for the students to watch them. The students love videos, so starting a unit with a video, or even watching small videos throughout the unit could definitely help keep them engaged. I think this could be very beneficial.
