Digital tool: You tube

You tube is an easy access point to thousands of videos many of them invaluable to the learning environment. However, it often lacks copyrite laws and can have many inappropriate videos, making it not an ideal port of call for any research they may do. You tube is often blocked by schools due to this reason. It serves more as a teacher tool for resources and first step into finding other, more appropriate web sites.

A more appropriate site is Teacher tube where videos (that are perfect for young students) can be found such as the one below.

some videos can even be downloaded.
