Good morning colleagues!
Here are your Tuesday tech tips! This week we are focusing on how YouTube can be used in the classroom as an educational tool.
Tip #1: YouTube Playlists: Like A Mixtape For Education
Making a YouTube playlist is a great way to sort and organize videos that you want to watch later or that you want your students to watch. After you create a playlist you can share it with a single link. This is perfect for sharing videos with students that are all related to a certain topic of study.
Just click the 'Add to' button underneath any YouTube video to add it to a playlist.

Tip #2: No Video Editing Software? No Problem.
Free Movie Editor in YouTube
With YouTube's free video editor you can create and publish video projects online. After uploading clips to YouTube you are able to add your clips to the same project, add transitions. apply filters, add text or add an audio track. YouTube has also included a nice collection of Creative Commons licensed videos and audio tracks that are free for you to use!
The great thing about this editor is that you can access it from anywhere. Whether you are editing your screencasts on the go or students are at home working on a project, the YouTube editor is an easy way to create videos without spending money on software.
