I loved the You Tube videos. I will absolutely use videos in my class this year especially since I'll now have a Smart Board to show them on. I plan to use them to open or close a class, to show a concept, and as a humor break when the students are on information overload. We have so many concepts that we have to cover in a short time, and my special education students get so overwhelmed, and distracted easily, that I need to break my lessons into chunks. This would be a fun way to transition into another activity.
I think it would be rewarding to watch the videos in class to get and keep the students engaged. A downfall is that You Tube is blocked at my school. Maybe our technology dept. would reconsider to allow access for us if we explain how a video is to be used.
