I use YouTube often. I use it for my own learning and sometimes I use YouTube and EdPuzzle
combined to get information to my students. YouTube, the site, has basically anything you could need to know. It's kind of my go-to technology when I need information and understanding quick. Did you know that "YouTuber" is actually considered a real profession? My kids watch YouTube for gaming hacks or how to level up on a particular game. I usually only watch for learning.
In the school setting I have many different playlists. Several different YouTubes for each of the skills I teach. This is very convenient because year after year, you don't have to reinvent how to teach our current technology. Of course some of them become outdated and I can't find exactly what I like or want to teach. If I can't use snippets of each, I end up creating my own.
This week I found several 2.0 technologies that I would like to use when fall rolls around. I decided to make a playlist based on the videos that I thought I could incorporate into my lessons. Having a playlist is a safe way to keep these videos until I can go back and watch them again, take notes or work along with the video.
I've been comfortable with YouTube for an extended period of time however it was nice to have enough time to go and view more video's and update myself on those technologies.
