Thing #6

The web 2.0 tool I choose is www.youtube.com.  I have been using this site for many years.  Although it is known for its silly and senseless videos, there are actually many educational videos.  This site is very easy to navigate and once you sign up for free, you can actually save videos.  This will save time when you go to view a video in the classroom.  After you start viewing videos under a certain topic, youtube starts suggesting new videos related to that topic.  As an art teacher in training, I could use this site to show a video on an artist that gives a brief description on their life.  There are also many interesting videos on the different movements in art and art basics.  Some people make how to videos that show a project step by step.  I could use these for project directions and find ideas on new projects.  Youtube will be a great addition for a classroom.
