For this activity, I uploaded the TEASe video on courage I created this summer as a means of introducing my second graders to the concepts of courage and heroism. The process of uploading, titling, and creating a caption for the video was fairly simple, and now I can see why so many people choose to share their videos this way on YouTube.
Over the summer, as I was trying to gain ideas for my own video, I used YouTube videos as a resource, and this was a huge help to me in finding information, mainly because the videos contained on this site span so many different subject areas and styles. I also think this would be a wonderful way to display student work for parents to see. Instead of posting videos on our school's website, causing things to slow down due to a lack of bandwidth, this would be a great alternative. As a teacher, I would need to be cautious of displaying students' last names, and also of allowing pictures of the children to be seen publicly. However, if used carefully, this could be an excellent resource for children to use in sharing digital slide shows of writing projects with illustrations and other such activities.
