What about Youtube?

Nowadays, learners' attention has changed toward increased use of new technologies, and especially in some ages with the use of platforms as youtube. The use of it in class will catch their attention and curiosity. In youtube, we can find a huge variety of videos by which we can motive our learners and review or introduce them interesting aspects.

 

One example is the initiative Aula365 which is an EduTainment channel for parents, children and teachers. It teaches and challenges students to different mathematical task in which we can work on the perimeter, area, measurement and capacity among other topics.

In the following video, you can watch one of the videos from the channel, so you can see the types of videos we are talking about.

The implementation of the huge platform Youtube can lead to multiple uses in schools. For instance, with students of the third cycle, would be a good idea to create their channel in which they will share their knowledge about measurement. It can be a motivational activity that will allow them to consolidate their knowledge about the topic and will help them to develop other skills as they will work in cooperative groups. 

Finally, it is a resource that can have several uses and will allow children to learn and enjoy at the same time. What do you think about that? I would like you to share your ideas!
