YOUTUBE IN TEACHING ... MY EXPERIANCE

I would like to share my experiance in using youtube video in my teaching. The reason behind  this choice is that the topic that i need to teach was amphibian. So for students at the age of 6 wouldn't understand about a concept without picturisation or showing the product.

The subtopic that i choose to teach the students is Life Cycle of a Frog. For the first day i bring some flashcards to show to the students how the frog evolve from egg to a frog. After teach them the students seems to be didnt understand the concept of it because the frog egg, or TADPOLE OR FROGLET are not something that they see every day in their life.
After that i decided to use video to make them understand the concept. So for the videos i searched it in the youtube. Because the school didnt have a wifi facility and only have video recorder and tv i decided to download it. I use youtube downloader to download the video and because it is in flv format i have to transfer it to mpeg format in order to burn it in the CD.

The next day i show the video to the students and the students were watching it with their full concentration because the classroom was so quiet and if i drop a pin it can be heard. After the video, i try to give the students worksheet to assess the students whether they understand the life cycle of a frog or not. Most of the students able to arrange the life cycle of a frog in a correct order. it is a great relief for me as my objective of the teaching is achieved and the students understand the content.
