YouTube

YouTube is a site where users can create an account and post videos of themselves. Below are links to how my children have used YouTube for classroom assignments:

Connor Book Report: The Eleventh Plague

Caylin Ancient History Project

Trevor Ancient History Project (yes, that's my son in the aluminum foil suit of armor. He is his mother's joy.)

PROS: Students can view and upload their own projects to a free account, they are only limited by teacher parameters and creativity. CONS: Adult content

Possible Classroom Uses: As illustrated above, students can use this to create video book reports or to illustrate episodes from history. Students could create and post videos to demonstrate mathematical concepts (counting, geometry) and science concepts, as well.
