For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Albert Einstein Thu, 24 May 2012 20:25:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Chouchoufifi http://thinkforyourself.ie/2008/01/16/youtube-again/#comment-526 Sun, 18 Jan 2009 11:35:57 +0000 http://ozymandias1.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/youtube-again/#comment-526 I agree. YouTube has excellent material on it for the teaching of languages. What I do is copy YouTube videos on to my laptop, then replay them in class.

I’m lucky to be in a school that decided to keep an separate ADSL line as well the NCTE one and I have to say youtube is excellent and would be sorely missed in the school both for entertainment and educational reasons.

An English teacher in the school related to a few of us over lunch that his English class perked up no end when he started showing some of the Philip Larkin videos from youtube. Just 5 minutes of multimedia content in a 40 minute class changed the atmosphere.

We filter content on the internet quite heavily but youtube is on the white list of OK sites to go to and I can’t imagine this changing any time soon. We have the NCTE line in some parts of the school and I appreciate the high quality of filtering on it but youtube would be welcome.
