YouTube is amazing. I love YouTube! You can find almost anything on there. I use it mainly for music or humor, but I have definitely used it more than once to teach myself something that a teacher in school didn't explain very well. I've also had many teachers use YouTube videos as part of their lessons.
For this assignment, I composed a playlist of videos that could potentially be used in an elementary school classroom. I'll admit I struggled a bit to think of topics I could find videos for, but eventually I turned to the Utah Core Standards website to help me with that. I didn't watch every video all the way through, but just the first little bit to see if it was appropriate. Some videos would be fun to introduce a new topic, some to help struggling students in a specific area, or some may have other uses as well. Videos are a good way to engage students.
YouTube is great and I enjoyed putting together this playlist.
