[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone doesn’t understand why we’d use YouTube in assignments or lessons, then they aren’t aware of all the valuable content there. (I do realize there’s a lot of junk on it too.)[/quote] It’s just a trade off. Yes, I’m sure there is “valuable content,” but the trade off is kids playing on YouTube whenever and you as a teacher having to spend your time monitoring their use instead of teaching. Which is happening more often in our middle schools? My child complains that whenever iPads come out kids are on YouTube or playing games. Some teachers just don’t let them take out their iPads for that reason. I don’t think the trade offs are worth it at this stage of their brain development. YouTube is highly addictive and the real golden nugget educational videos can be shown through other vehicles. [/quote]
