Video

Videos--How can they be used.? I experienced that just a few weeks ago in observing a class. The teacher used You Tube to play clips from Martin Luther King, Jr., "I Have a Dream" speech as a prompt for a writing assignment.
I sent this YouTube video about homelessness in our city to several teachers who are responsible for our annual food drive.

What a great tool to use for clips of shows, news, speeches, etc.
I realize this tool can be used in a derogatory way and because of this YouTube is blocked from some places but for us it works well.

I will have to think how to use this tool in the library.
