Teaching with Video

There can't be many people who haven't heard of YouTube. You probably use it to upload and view funny videos. You may even use it in your teaching. If you use it carefully it can motivate your learners providing another media to support your topic. It can be used at the start of a lesson to generate discussion to present the topic. For example if the topic is starting your own business you could present the topic of entrepreneurial skills by watching Peter Jones list what he believes are the fundamental skills.

Other great sites are TeachersTV which has hundreds of videos to use in the classroom covering all topics , Teacher Tube and the Learning Objects website.
