Thing #8

I have used YouTube in class a few times, although I try to find videos off other sites as well such as National Geographic. A site I found while looking for math games has really good videos that review math concepts - it's called Math Playground. I have used them to review math concepts with select students that are struggling.

The dislikes I have for YouTube are the ads and the comments that can be inappropriate. I have never really looked at TeacherTube or SchoolTube before - they seem like useful sites if I were to create videos with students, since so many of the videos were created by students.

I did find a video on YouTube that I thought was pretty cool - it is a middle school teacher that creates raps for her subject areas. They were pretty entertaining. Not sure I'd have the courage to do that.
