I read an article about the uses of You Tube for educational value. This article was written by Karl Fisch and found at Fischbowl.blogspot.com . The article was discussing whether the web site You Tube could be a helpful tool in learning.
I personally believe that You Tube doesn’t have much value besides entertainment purposes. But I could be wrong. Maybe the schools could change that. If that was possible You Tube could be used for many class assignments to help enhance the learning situation in class. For example we could use them to present a project, maybe the assignment is to make a short movie over a certain topic and then post it on You Tube so then everyone can go online and view this video. Then if the students wanted to make feedback on the groups project they could view it again at home and make comments on it.
This relates the world because there are a lot of other sites that are questionable about being a good learning tool. Things like MySpace and Facebook are being looked at as a good communication tool for teachers and students. I’m not so sure about that, because like I said about You Tube it’s more for entertainment purposes, but that could all be changed.
