Thing #20

YouTube is one of my most visited websites I frequent. I always enjoy watching the funny clips of the crazy things that people do. Mostly, I enjoy watching music videos by my favorite artists. The video of Dave Matthews Band playing their song titled, “You & Me” is perhaps my favorite. The song’s lyrics are reminiscent of me and wife as we enter our 24^th year of marriage. In the classroom, sites such as YouTube are a great asset because the videos are easily incorporated into any lesson and because the site stores the data, you can retrieve it from anywhere. For me, there really is nothing to dislike about the website. I find that the majority of the material I am in need of is readily accessible through YouTube. One of the components I find to be useful is the ability for others to comment about each video. The comments often provide useable feedback about the video which allows another’s analysis to be considered when deciding about its applicability in the classroom. In the future, I feel that websites such as YouTube will be my go to site when preparing or presenting lessons for the classroom.
