YouTube in the
Classroom
Rationale
YouTube
is a free online resource that can greatly enhance classroom lessons and
student learning. The goal of this
professional development workshop is to give teachers the tools to effectively
find videos that will be useful in classroom instruction and enable them to
successfully navigate the site and save videos. Students will benefit from this with lessons that are more
interesting, engaging and relevant to their everyday lives. Once teachers start using YouTube,
students will be given more opportunities to use this resource creatively for
projects and classroom work.
