Thing 20: YouTube

On YouTube, often enormous amounts of time to load clips. Ugh. No patience. So I headed over to Yahoo Videos and Teacher Tube and checked out a few things.

Back on YouTube, I found a piece that had circulated my way a bit ago, and may have come your way, too. Very funny. Mom Song to the William Tell Overture. I think humor is a very key draw of YouTube, which can work for learning. Not this piece, of course, but humor about your topic can make a memorable lesson.

On a serious note, I would like to use YouTube in my library for computer training, like the Creative Commons pieces. Very instructive. I would not produce something original--I don't have the resources. Besides, there is plenty of excellent content in that realm.
