Youtube as a teaching tool


I recently employed the use of youtube in my classroom to show my students some examples of artists' work. This was the first time they had been exposed to youtube as a teaching tool. Although they had unrestricted access for personal research, They were very interested to see what I had to show them. As the above webcomic shows, the internet belongs to everyone, and although youtube may lead to some awkward social occasions, it is the perfect teaching tool to get your students interested in your task, and a format that they can interact with.
