I love to use video in the class, esp YouTube. How many of you use YouTube in class?
I used to use YouTube all the time. There are SO many resources available on it, it's hard not to use it!
🖐🏾in a variety of ways. https://t.co/RyqWbiESC2
I love to use video in the class, esp YouTube. How many of you use YouTube in class?
I have not used it much but I plan to use it for professional development purposes in the near future.
I use YouTube all the time. There are some great teacher made videos to use in a flipped classroom
- There really are! I know there's a lot of crazy on there, but there's also so many good things!
I use a variety of different editors to my own videos that post to YouTube. iMovie, Adobe Spark, what do U use?
- It's just such an easy place to house resources too!
I tend to use when I do my Roving Reporter. It's easy and I know it, so it's my go-to.
Forgot this. I teach at Riverwood HS - Art and IB Film. U?
I'm your lead coach and member! to be a part of both incredible teams!
I am an AA at Milton High School but was and always will be a math teacher.
I love my iPad. Making time lapse videos for demos are one of my fav.
- It's always funny how the teacher in you stays true to the classroom side. :)
Good Evening Everyone, Sorry to be late. I'm a KSU coach and former FCS METI
- I need to do more of that! I love watching time-lapse, so I need to make some! :)
Hello! Christian here! Going to jump back and forth in this chat. Moderating another tonight
A1: YouTube in the classroom is crucial...one of the few resources that offers instant, relevant content for students
- What a great idea! I never really thought about using time lapse with school for some reason!
https://t.co/9FHyTEYD7c
We had the best time making a time lapse to see where the sun would fall on our future garden
I have used Explain Everything as a math teacher and it worked well.
I agree. For finding content it is the easiest and even to upload content.
I love explain everything. Also like Educreations! Feel like its that but on steroids! https://t.co/4h8EK55uvb
I have used Explain Everything as a math teacher and it worked well.
also a fan of OfficeMix! https://t.co/4h8EK55uvb

Hi everyone - I love to learn tips and gain ideas through my PLN including Diego, EdTech for teachers, etc.
Haven't used Explain Everything. Can U explain everything?
That's brilliant! Never thought of that. And it's quick and easy to do! https://t.co/yMQLJm77t6
One way I use other videos is to have students make "Visual Notes" to go with the videos. Check for knowledge. How… https://t.co/zIpSn3P93o
imovie is my favorite! https://t.co/PVeeYqheTA

Been trying to get Office Mix running but I have had tech probs. Imagine?
A2: Teachers can check for understanding by embedding YouTube videos into
So have you had your students make their own videos to use in class?
I'm camera shy so Powtoons was my go to for explainer videos. And, you can smash Powtoons and educreations into imovie.
- I used to make my Virtual PD Day recap videos.
- I CAN NOT wrap my head about . I'm pretty sure I've built up a mental block to it.
I am obsessed with EdPuzzle and have spread the excitement to many of our third, fourth, and fifth grade teachers!
Q2: (forgot that) Have you had your students make their own videos to use in class?
Works great for students who miss a lesson or for flipping.
Absolutely. I love to make blend it up.
yes using explain everything and educreations! Want to try officemix w them
what was the problem u encountered?
I'm the Media Specialist & have helped our third grade teachers use EdPuzzle to flip instruction as part of a PBL

A2 My kids loved using imovie for making public service announcements. Toontastic, telestory and chatterpix other faves.
Videos I added to the Mix didn't appear. Nothing worse than tech not working with 35 waiting.
Do you have students upload them to YouTube?
just a matter of trying it out w them.
My students loved using iMovie and Movie Maker to make psa's as well
- But I'll bet you modeled how to handle that really well!
When I am teaching basic editing, i have been successful with using free YouTube editor. Q4: did U know about it?
Also, make sure that you have signed releases from all of your students.
A4: I had no idea that YouTube had an editor though I noticed that some things on the site had changed
A4: I didn't realize YouTube had any editing features.
That's awesome! Ease of use?
It is a basic editor, but great for introducing students to the craft. Can add music 2.
Yes. I show the kids a few basics. Adding text, transitions, then let them go.
Suggested age/grade range?
HS definitely, MS and prob 5th grade. Kids learn fast these days.
Assuming you are working with middle or high school?
- Instead of ES kids, think about using it for PD! :)
How can fifth graders access YouTube? Thought this wasn't ok per FC
Yeah, , I had NO idea that was there. Haha. You really do learn something new every day!
- It seems to go back and forth. Last I heard, they should have access at school.
I noticed last week that FCNook was blocking YouTube but not FCWifi. Annoying. No warning.
I'm late chiming in but do they have to have their own YT channel/acct
- Better late than never! Always happy to have members join whenever they can!
Are we still chatting? Made it home!
Sadly, ours is blocked on student devices
You get a channel when you signin. Now with your gmail.
I'll jump on the explain everything bandwagon
- You should request that it's unblocked. I don't know if they will, but it doesn't hurt to ask!
Very sad indeed. HS kids just use their own data. .
Hi Jodi. I am bit random, but yes.
I've just started using Ed puzzle. My kids absolutely love it! I'm excited to flip my classroom!
Love Powtoon! https://t.co/j1mh6rfhWl
I'm camera shy so Powtoons was my go to for explainer videos. And, you can smash Powtoons and educreations into imovie.
Is that a screencapture app?
I have a teacher moving videos to SchoolTube for use by students.
You all have talked about it so much that now I have to go explore. https://t.co/2FWlQKTle2

should work on FC devices in the bldg but not at home or on personal devices
Don't U have to wait a day b4 vid is up on SchoolTube?
- I don't know, to be honest.
Q5: what is most annoying online block at your school?
Not sure but he makes videos for blended weeks in advance so I do not think it affects him.
YouTube😜 Just emailed my tech spec to inquire...
I have uploaded YouTube vids to and had no trouble using it
A5: I don't know if it's the most annoying, but I can't get on Yahoo. I also can't get on Twitter!
Twitter! Instagram I use both for school. Have put in multiple requests.....
We miss Flickr at our school 2.
I hate that I can't save my ideas as I'm planning at school on Pinterest bc of block. https://t.co/doaJjvvXXe
Q5: what is most annoying online block at your school?
Me neither! So I have to use my phone and take it off the wifi. https://t.co/Ekya4Fiwmf
A5: I don't know if it's the most annoying, but I can't get on Yahoo. I also can't get on Twitter!
that's a tough one. Lots of stuff there...
We miss it 2. My students use it for inspiration.
- Perfect time to use the hotspot! That's what I usually do if I need to access Twitter at work!
Q6: Bringing it back. Have any used Adobe Spark for vid?
clearly I've. Even missing out!

Love! Want Fulton to give the okay for Ss to use Adobe! https://t.co/naZ0NBxcR0
