YouTube

Using video in education can provide a wonderful medium for discussion, creation, inquiry, digital literacies.......

I really enjoyed watching Sir Ken Robinson video:


As I was looking I also found this wonderful example of a student creating a video to share his learning about Bow Drill sets. He has had over 8000 people view his video.The comments given back are powerful.



Providing opportunities for students to share their learning with an audience a receive feedback is a wonderful motivation for learning.

This medium allows teachers to use in many ways- even if it is to share a story digitally.



Another video site I use with children is WINGCLIPS.


It allows you to watch short film clips that are related to key concepts that can link to units of work.
An Example:




Teacher TV provides some great video resources as well.
