Thing 6

The web tool I decided to use was a very familiar one, but extremely useful; http://www.youtube.com/ I absolutely love using youtube, it allows anyone to share videos online, either from their hard drive or record it using a Web cam.  I will definitely use a lot of videos for educational purposes in my classes.  Videos are available for almost everything, literally.  Not only for my purposes, my students could use this for research projects and presentations.  Another way this could be useful beyond group projects, for students who have a difficult time reading, they could find the book on youtube and listen to it rather than read through it.  There are endless ideas educators could imply with youtube.  If a teacher wanted to create a weekly video for parents to see, you can have the parents add you on youtube and post the videos the students create every week.  Youtube is a free database that students could use for many different sources.  I found a video I think will some up the limitless ideas students can find.
