Thing #19

Even though my husband first introduced me to YouTube a couple years ago, I go through periods of time when I forget it’s out there.  Every now and then I think to myself “what was that movie quote?” “remember that funny tv episode?” “I forgot to watch the news this morning,” etc.  And then voila – YouTube has me covered.  It’s pretty crazy how many things are out there on the web.  I’ll be curious to see the outcome of the copyright case referenced in the YouTube intro video Shelley gave us.  In the meantime, there are so many tutorial videos on YouTube and TeacherTube that (at the very least) I can suggest that students and their parents seek help from those resources at home.

YouTube video relevant to mathematics – To answer the ever-irritating question: “When are we ever going to use this?”

YouTube video relevant to mathematics – My sixth graders had a hard time accepting the relevance of the number zero.  This video is a cute tribute to the often-forgotten integer.

YouTube “how to” video – I’ve always wanted to try to make a coffee cake.

YouTube nostalgic video: This is my favorite scene from the Anne of Green Gables series (which is a collection of my three favorite movies).
