Thing 20

YouTube is a video hosting website that I have previous experience utilizing. In the past I have searched through videos on YouTube for research and entertainment. One aspect that I find extremely useful is how simple it is to share videos that you post or find on the site. One downside that I have encountered is that some schools block the website so it cannot be accessed in the classroom because not all content presented on the site is suitable for students. During this exercise I was introduced to TeacherTube, which is very similar to YouTube but designed for teaching. I selected the following video from YouTube regarding the use of technology in special education classrooms. I recently had the privilege of observing in a Life Skills class and observed firsthand the important role technology plays in educating special needs students.
