Videos on YouTube

YouTube and TeacherTube are very useful tools in language classes, especially for those interested in designing flipped courses.  Preparing videos for YouTube or TeacherTube is as varied as the computer you have and the software you use.  The best idea is to find something that is simple for you and easy to use.

Search YouTube for the terms:  "How to make a video for YouTube" or something similar and pick your video.

Students are great at making their own projects on YouTube.  Let them show the way!

One of our favorite videos is this one on the Present Progressive tense in Spanish created by Paige and her students
