Thing 18: YouTube & Other Online Video



Reference:



That YouTube is blocked by school districts may reveal their lack of knowledge of this extremely powerful resource: Harvard lectures. Yale lectures. Presentations by great and important people. Tremendous resources for education.


Library Dominoes could be a lesson in how NOT to treat books in your friendly neighborhood library.


Funny library commercial could inspire reading--or diving over furniture.




I could see using the Funny Blond Library Joke until it included the Bible verses--off limits in school.


Here is a sample of a Charlie Rose show video, which talks about post-secondary education in America and the future of technology. I selected this example to illustrate that there's a lot of valuable, educational material on YouTube, and it can be extremely relevant to the needs of today's students. Such videos can be useful for supplementing classroom instruction, and they can be used in library instruction to illustrate that video can be a source for research.
