YouTube is the ideal tool you are not using

As an educator, I love YouTube. why? simple, it allows me to reach students with different learning styles with one exercise. YouTube allows you to add visual, auditory, numeric, musical and verbal elements o your work at the same time.

For those not that familiar with YouTube, it has a nice, friendly user editor that allows you to ad almost anything to your videos without being tech savvy.

here is an example I presented to my students from the education school at the university I teach. The exercise is just to show how you can add links to a video to create an interactive listening comprehension exercise.

The video is really simple. Focus on how the links work more than the exercise itself. The link will open a new window.

Interactive YouTube exercise
