YouTube EDU is a sub-section of YouTube that contains high-quality educational content.
YouTube for Schools is a network setting that, when implemented, allows your school to access the educational content on YouTube EDU while limiting access to non-educational content on YouTube.com.
YouTube.com/Teachers is a how-to site that shows you how to use YouTube in the classroom.
Use YouTube, Slideshare, or another site to upload your content so you can return to your created videos from any location
Create video viewing stations
Or watch selected video clips as a class. Either way, the video element can be just one small piece of your lesson and help reinforce main ideas/concepts
Differentiate learning
Use videos to get some students up to speed and accelerate learning for others
In YouTube, a user (like you) can annotate video clips to create a new video that works as a choose your own adventure type learning pathway for students.
Create your own account on the video site(s) of choice and save your Favorites to the account. Then when you return, you won't have to search back and forth over and over again. Or create Playlists your students can access in the order you want them to view items.
Review for exams
Before exam time, let students hear the core concepts of the semester with the help of videos
Spark lively discussion
