I am fairly familiar with youtube since I enjoy watching weird, funny, and instructional videos online! I am convinced that no matter what the subject some sort of video can be found on youtube. The video I added above is a chemistry video that is about the elements of the periodic table! I was shown this video while in school! Yes, I know it is horribly corny but seeing what some of the elements are and putting them with a certain thing will help students remember them! So this is why I chose this video to post on my blog. I tried to find other fun and exciting chemistry videos, but some either were lame and pointless or just not real chemistry!
I like youtube, I think there are many good videos out there that could be beneficial for a classroom. Look at how many Dr. Wall has shown us in class or posted on the 23 things website. I think that youtube also has some very trashy and tasteless videos out there also, so I think that is something to watch when you are searching by keyword! You never know what you will come across while looking around on this website.
I think that some of the features of the website could be applied to the library website for searching for educational videos. I think if we could approve certain videos for students to watch online at school it would be beneficial for helping them understand the subject matter better.
