Thing 20

No Child Left Behind Video

I have explored Youtube before, but only as recreational fun. I can say that as an educator, a dislike of Youtube is that there is too much stuff out there that students do NOT need to see! I would never suggest a student to research anything on Youtube without an attentive adult supervision. Saying that, I do think that if you SPECIFICALLY search for something, there are many educational videos available on Youtube. It is a good research method for teachers to use as a back up on whatever their lesson plans are covering.
The video that I researched was "No Child Left Behind [Document Film]" The whole No Child Left Behind is a very debatable subject that I find very interesting. This video is about a student teacher in New York who made a documentary about this act that George W Bush created and the pros and cons of it.
If I could suggest anything about Youtube that could be added to our library website, it would be to have videos on there. Even if it was a link to a Youtube video, it would be great to have everything in the same place and be able to click on a video that explains everything you are researching.
