Editor's Notes
- Trigger unique and interesting discussions– teachers using YouTube in the classrooms can trigger interesting and unique discussions amongst their students. The teachers can use relevant videos on news reports, documentaries, current affairs and much more to get the student opinions and gauge the impact of the learning on the students. Flip the classroom– The ability to curate your own videos helps to facilitate flipped classrooms. Students watch the assigned videos on their own time, at their own pace (and as often as they’d like). Instructors can even create videos of their lectures to be viewed outside of the classroom, freeing up class time for discussions, group work and interactive assignments. Free lecture content – using YouTube in classroom also makes it possible for teachers to access high quality learning materials for free. This is especially important when teaching on tough subjects or when reviewing for exams. Engage visual learners– No one child learns the same way, and whereas one may experience the ‘penny drop’ moment from a textbook, another will get it from a visual explanation. Creates more engagement from students– Learning primarily comprises of audio and visual components. Unlike traditional modes of teaching where the teacher offered explanation and the students are expected to take notes, videos are more engaging and has the power to make students stay more alert, thus increase their chances of absorbing the lesions and getting most from the subjects.
- Set homework to prep students for new material: In order to fulfil more class time the following, students (if they are able to) will watch short videos at home to make introducing new topics a little faster and easier in the classroom Use videos as a writing prompt: They can be used to introduce new topics, inspire debate or provide reference for research projects; students can also create their own video essays to demonstrate learning. Play videos of poets reading their own works: Hearing the actual poet recite their own work gives new meaning to reading words on paper. It allows for students to connect emotions to words and communicate the poet’s thoughts and feelings. Use Youtube as a reward: A carefully selected video that’s fun, yet educational can be used as a treat but also as a learning resource. For example, if a particular book that is discussed in class has a movie, students will be able to view that movie in hopes that it helps them more to understand the text.
- One of the major uses of Youtube in the classroom is the Flipped Classroom strategy. This allows for students to get a quick preview of the lesson in which their teacher will present the next day, or help slow learners be able to access information at home and catch up on things they missed in class; this allows for them to be on the same page of their peers in time for the next lesson.
- You need to have an internet connection to access it: If you don’t have a cellular data connection and there isn’t an internet connection in a classroom, then there is no way to utilize YouTube for education. There has to be some level of online connectivity in order for this to work. Some content in videos may not be suitable for the age group: Some videos on YouTube with the content that is wished to be shown may be too complex for children. Thus, defeats the purpose of showing the video to make instruction easier. Also, some Youtube videos may be “too childish” or just plain boring for high school/college students. Can cause distraction: It is best to pre-watch videos that you wish to show in class. The creator of the video might add in content that may not relate to the topic you wish to present in class. For younger audiences, the video may be too colorful that the kids might miss the educational portion of it. If students are viewing the video on their own devices, they might be watching videos of their own interest instead of the one video they were intended to watch. Not every video on Youtube is reliable: There are numerous videos that are uploaded every day that come from questionable sources. Some videos are designed to sell products or promote a personal agenda. It can take some time to sort the real videos from the unreliable ones and that is an investment that not every educator is in a position to make.
