TftF 94: YouTube in the Classroom (pt. 4) Suggested Viewing
For the last few episodes we have been discussing YouTube in theory, almost at a distance. I have even read some comments on blogs like 7 Inch Cinema saying that I'm being a little abstract. To fix this, today we are going to be looking at some YouTube videos for kids.
I will admit that YouTube was definitely not designed for kids and teachers. I know that YouTube filters content, but often I find that I'm too young for the videos. Despite all that, today we're going to get a little deeper and we're going to be looking at a few specific videos. In this episode we go over some recommended videos.
Before we get into that I continue the Better Know A Listener series with an interview with Aaron "The Art Guy" Smith. Aaron is the edu-blogger/podcaster behind on of my favorite sights, The Academic Aesthetic.com. If you are interested in technology education and/or art education you can find interesting information and web tools from Aaron.
Though this is the end of our current series about YouTube, we will continue to compile a list of recommended videos. If you have a favorite YouTube video for kids and teens, leave a link to the video and your site so that I can give you credit.

hey Dave,
Just to be clear, I wasn't implying any critique of TftF; what you're doing is great. It was a more general thought inspired by your blog, that some sifting of internet video with education in mind might be handy - knowing how little time teachers have. Will see if I can come up with some clips of my own...

I'll try to be clear too. You post made me think about some of the criticisms that I was having about the episodes. I'll keep watching you site and watch out for some of your picks. Thanks!

You know my feelings on chocolate rain, but 11 years after my middle school social studies teacher had us listen to it every day for several weeks, I still remember most of the Animaniacs 50 state song :)
