YouTube is a free video broadcasting service in which users upload videos for others to watch. This is an extremely useful tool for the education field as teachers can show video clips, demonstrations, and encourage students to make their own videos for projects. By using YouTube, visual aids increase the success of students and can provide a concrete example of the material being taught. Showing a video or real life footage also makes learning important concepts seem relevant to the real world. This tool could benefit students with reading comprehension problems, reading difficulties, those who have trouble paying attention or taking notes, and can be used to facilitate a class discussion. YouTube users must agree to let others view their videos and adhere to copyright acts.
