Thing 20: You, Too, Can YouTube

Diffusion YouTube Video

YouTube is a site I have used on many occasions for a variety of purposes. Almost anything that can be thought of is probably on YouTube. I have checked out bands, instrument reviews, excerpts from television shows, instructional lectures, and even learned how to repair a clothes dryer all from this awesome site. Much like other social networking sites, the content should be reviewed thoroughly before any videos are shown in a classroom setting. The capabilities and ease of use would be beneficial in a library setting in that lectures and tutorials could be uploaded for use by students as well as by teachers. I chose the uploaded video as it corresponded with TN Standard GLE 0707.1.5 Observe and explain how materials move through simple diffusion. Videos such as this have proven to be valuable components in the modern classroom.
