What a resource Youtube is! For years I've been using it to watch video's of people hitting pinatas, however recently I found it can be used for all sorts of learning purposes.
You can find tutorials on anything you can think of. I have a keen interest in playing the ukulele so it was one of my first searches and I found this little video:

Learning the Japanese language is the second subject I looked for:

Some video's posted on Youtube are better then others, and if you manage to find some quality programing, you can subscribe to it, and Youtube will store the video's in your subscriber file. Teachers can find instructional video's to compliment their teaching subjects, and also encourage students to possibly make their own You tube video. You tube is a good place for people who learn by visual instruction. You can probably find any number of You tube videos that suit all types of learners.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed watching and listening that Ukelele lesson.C E A Cooks Eat Alone. Wow! The student can listen while they are actually learning the tune.For auditory and visual learner would benifit from this type of learning.The best part is you can pay it over and over again.
Creating U Tube as an assessment will make it authentic.
Thanks

I know,that ukulele video was a good one. I'm subscribing to it, to see what else he makes. These sorts of video's are good for me, because I've never been able to understand music sheets. I'm definately audio and visual learner when it comes to music.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn
ReplyDeleteI agree that sometimes we are able to locate You Tube clips that are useful Tutorials and are presented in a particular style that we understand immediately. Teachers are all individual and have different teaching styles. This awareness helps me to understand the importance of developing multi-skills and accommodating for different learning styles in my learning design.
Thanks.
