Being a ‘research practitioner’ I research new technologies as tools for use in curriculum and instruction, and recommend tools to use along with ideas on how-to incorporate these tools into teaching. In my research phase I try them out. In other words, “I practice what I blog” in Blendedu.
Over the break I spent time playing with YouTube. I was practicing, though the word ‘playing’ sounds like so much more fun.
We easily shot some video on our digital camera, and then uploaded it to YouTube.
To begin, find something that you want to video such as your new puppy playing or your cat curled up in a breadbasket. Choose something you want to video and something you want to share with others. That’s the reason behind YouTube. It's a new tool to share video with your friends. Plus it is a great tool for your students to use in their science lab classes, in Criminal Justice, Sociology, or Math. Then practice uploading the video you created. It’s very easy and with practice you can then walk your students through it.
So…
1) Choose something to video you want to share with others
2) Practice uploading the video
3) Send the URL to others to share
It’s really that easy..so share.
