YouTube brings to the table many different topics to their website. One topic that many people seem to forget about is the educational section of YouTube. In this section you can find many tips on how to do your homework, for example: how to simplify your math equations. It can also give teachers a new 'accessory' to teach with. They can assign projects for you and a group to make a video about what the class has learned in a certain unit. In Westerville, Ohio there is a high school that has their own YouTube channel and they take popular music and change the words to make a math song. They can be pretty catchy and can make math class a lot more fun.
YouTube is great for education because if teachers do choose to have a project using YouTube they won't have to correct a bunch of work on paper and they don't take the chance of losing your work. That doesn't happen often but it can still happen!
Most students use YouTube for presentations for visual marks and because if you need to reach a certain length of time you can use these videos to reach that time. Haha.
Not only can it help you with your homework, but you can learn new things through other educational videos. For example: you could learn about different animals on the Discovery Networks channel. YouTube can pretty much help you with anything you need to learn how to do. There are health procedures that can be put on YouTube all the way to lessons on how to cook, or lessons how to sing, ect. YouTube is like a class where you can learn anything you want.
YouTube is great! That's probably why it is used so much, and it has so many variety of topics to search on.
YouTube, really, has everything on its website! I don't think the creators even envisioned that their creation would become as much use as it does. It's amazing how you can find any video on any subject on the Internet nowadays. I think I should start watching some of those math videos… Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYeah it really is amazing! The math videos are also very helpful and I may be watching those a lot during my weekend as I study for my functions exam so I don't fail! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI agree, its so useful when doing projects, and theres so many videos that teach good lessons. It makes understanding certain things so much better, like if you read an article u may understand it way better verbally so youtube has definitely helped me in that way. I love whoever created this site, genius!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of these videos mostly because YouTube is full of useless junk, it's about time YouTube is used for good! Other then that, mantysaari is always showing us YouTube videos on like songs that solve equations, she finds them "cute". All in all it makes class more interesting then just listening to her talk for ever, even if it is mantysaari :$ haha.
ReplyDeleteYoutube is awesome, you can find the coolest things, to random things (like a crow snowboarding... no kidding!) to the weirdest things. It's useful and I found this video very interesting and the second way they did for finding the 0s is actually really cool.
ReplyDeleteYoutube actually simplified a biology term for me, there was a rap song explaining it in a different way and it made a lot more sense. I ended up passing that test with an A+! You've got a good blog!
