"With one billion monthly users (and growing), YouTube's popularity is a pretty clear indication that video is a powerful medium. And kids' unrelenting fascination with videos is motivating many educators to find ways to leverage them for all kinds of purposes." Via Beth Dichter
Paige Jaeger 's insight:
Video's should enhance instruction, not supplant it. However, some videos do a better job than teachers do. Interesting guide and be sure to follow the links. We like to suggest that videos "activate thinking" and compel students to come up with further questions. This is very common core, as the students then would have to "research and investigate" to build knowledge and have an evidence-based discussion!

If you have not heard of ProCon.org this is a great introduction through the eyes of students in middle school, high school, and college. Student created videos discuss the value of using ProCon when researching a wide variety of controversial subjects. To quote their mission statement: "Promoting critical thinking, education, and informed citizenship by presenting controversial issues in a straightforward, nonpartisan, primarily pro-con format." The statement continues "We accomplish our mission by researching issues that we feel are controversial and important, and we work to present them in a balanced, comprehensive, straightforward, and primarily pro-con format at no charge on our websites."
