[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling bullsh@! on you being a teacher OP. If you were, you’d know that children are not the most reliable narrators. You’d also know how to go about getting a better sense from the teacher themselves. 
[b]All that said, I see teachers relying on videos for read alouds more frequently now than a few years ago. I think part of it is due to resources they developed during virtual instruction and hard copies of books not being available (in classroom/school library) so it’s easier to find a video then look for an alternative title that fits their need. 
Again, if you were a classroom teacher I think you’d understand this. [/b]

This seems like a ridiculous reason/excuse to not read to the kids. [/quote]

How's the school librarian it is definitely a frustrating conversation I keep having with coworkers about how
- these videos are a copyright violation
- by and large these are safe videos to watch but you have no control if you don't at least pre-watch them

- technically teachers are not really supposed to be showing kids YouTube without embedding the video somewhere else first so that way you can control for commercials or other videos being shown on YouTube on sidebars or other places and a lot of teachers don't bother with that

What’s particularly crazy is that sometimes after a YouTube video, you’ll end up with a screen full of (sometimes inappropriate) screen shots of other possible videos.  I mean, that’s what YouTube does because they want you to keep watching.[/quote]
