I believe that learning should be
active, exciting, and engaging. Part of the problem with engaging
and motivating students, is that we continue to give them old-fashioned paper
and pencil work, while they are craving a medium that speaks their language -
technology. I would be lost without technology. One source
I use daily is YouTube. I’m lucky to not have this site blocked at y school. YouTube
is one of the biggest resources for educational content. Whenever I’m in need
of a song, video, or book I search YouTube. You can find videos that make the
subject of your lesson more applicable to students’ everyday lives. There are a
tons of reasons YouTube should be a part of most classrooms:
·
Engage your students
by captivating their attention
·
Provide real-world
context for lessons.
·
Help provide cultural
relevance for your students.
·
Provide remediation for concepts yet mastered.
·
Provide visual aides
