Lets Learn

Some people like Troy Jones and Kristen Cuthrell, believe that we should used YouTube in classrooms. I happen to agree with them. They believe that because up and coming generations are born into this technological age, that things like YouTube impact how children develop emotionally and cognitively. Also technological advances have allowed teachers to meet the needs of all learning types. They talk about how using videos to teach allows the students to engage both sides of their brains. Which I think is amazing. Having the lessons on YouTube, also allows students to go back and re-watch and review things after the class has ended.

By putting YouTube in classrooms I think it sets up students to want to use YouTube as a learning tool. If they are taught from the very beginning that this can be a tool to learn as opposed to a tool for procrastinating. Then I feel our world will be a much better place.
