A video playlist is a media rich tool for engaging students and delivering important content or directions. It is a compilation of videos from sites like YouTube, TeacherTube, TED, or any other sites that have content appropriate for students. It is easily created in YouTube by beginning a new playlist and adding videos to the file. It's important to preview the videos first. The playlist will be more effective if you select videos which are void of advertisement. In my teaching context, this would be useful for introducing or reviewing new material. Because playlists can be linked to teacher websites, they are also useful tools for students who miss classroom instruction.
My video playlist is based on the skills for writing summaries, including finding main ideas and details in non-fiction text. We will use this playlist in class for previewing and reviewing content, but it will also be used as an example of the project I want students to complete as a culminating project.
