#6 YouTube

Today's blog post is Thing 6, Web top and YouTube video.  Since Mark Moore has made it so much easier for teacher's to show YouTube videos in class, they are being used quite frequently.  This has increased student engagement.  But if you aren't a teacher, a video still needs to be unblocked for you to see it.

I worked with the music teacher at my school.  They watched parts of the movie "Pitch Perfect".  A few of the students taught themselves the cup trick and the rest of the students wanted to learn it.  So we found a tutorial on YouTube to teach the students step by step and i showed her how to send in a request through the webtop to whitelist the video so the students can get to this video without the teacher showing it. This is an excellent rhythm activity for music and even P.E.class.
