Thing #20

1. Go to YouTube, find a video using the search box. Search for something like Libraries, librarians, learning, teaching, etc.

I searched for teaching and it brought up some very broad topics with "teaching " in the title.

2. Go to TeacherTube, locate a video for a subject that might be useful for students/teachers in your sphere of influence.

I searched for biology high school and it turned up 0 results. I then had to search biology and it came up with 112 results but none of them were rated by age. This was not helpful.

3. Write a post for Thing #20 about your video finds and the value of having access to so many video resources. Embed at least one of the videos you selected into your post.

The value of having access so many video resources? The pool of videos to use is larger.

However, the search results were not at all helpful if a teacher wants to search for a particular topic and then use that video to teach their students.

However, I did find other videos where teachers either used it as a tool for communication with their students or otherwise.

Here's a link to a teacher who wanted to introduce a new textbook to her students prior to the beginning of school:

Here's another link to a video that gives an introduction to Biology for a certain teacher's class:
