#4- Uploading Videos

What would be some advantages of having teaching/learning videos available on online at sites like these?What about student created work -- would there be advantages to having it uploaded?

Some of the advantages of having teaching/learning videos available online at sites such as YouTube and TeacherTube is that they can be shared throughout the school, district, city and globe making the classroom a truly virtual world where ideas are no longer enclosed by walls. Creating these videos in and outside the classroom/library will enable students to take ownership of what they have learned and synthesize it using technology much like they will have to when they leave school. Another huge advantage is that students and teachers can find videos on just about any topic which will help them further enhance their knowledge of that subject. As many teachers know, when you teach a topic, you really learn it. Students who create videos that teach others about a topic are probably learning it better than those students who just sit back and listen to the teacher deliver a lecture.

Have you uploaded a video to one of the sites using the directionas available? You need to embed (or at the very least add the link) your video to this post!
