YouTube videos

YouTube is one of the most popular web sites to find and add videos.

Often, instructors use videos to introduce themselves to students in classes or ti introduce weekly lessons or assignments.

How do Instructors use videos with their Students?

How do I find a video that is closed-captioned (that can be read by screen readers for the visually impaired)

  • You can search YouTube for closed captioned videos
  • BUT, many YouTube videos have been automatically captioned by YouTube. You must play the video to find out if it is captioned correctly.
  • You can use Advanced search (filters) to find recent videos, videos that are short, videos of different qualities

What will my students need to view a YouTube video?

Your students will need...

How do I upload a video, and what settings should I pick?

  • Follow these instructions from YouTube for Uploading videos
  • What Basic Settings should you choose?
    • By default, your videos are public. You can pick one of two other privacy settings, we recommend "Unlisted":
      • Unlisted: Only those you share the video link with can view it. They do not need to have a Google account.
        • Your unlisted videos won't display to visitors, and won't show up in YouTube's search results, unless someone adds your unlisted video to a public playlist.
        • But someone you shared the link with, could forward the link to someone else.
      • Private: Only you or those users you select can see your video. They'll need a Google account, and you'll need to add the email addresses of the people you want to share your video with.
        • Your private videos won't display to visitors, and won't show up in YouTube's search results.
        • You must have connected your channel to Google+ or confirmed your name on YouTube, or you can't share private videos with others.
        • You can't modify who can view your private video, except to delete all users access to the video.
    • What other settings should you choose?
      • To the right of Basic Settings, click on the Advanced Settings. We suggest:
      • Don't allow comments or user ratings.
  • Here's more info about YouTube's Privacy Settings

How do I add closed-captions to videos?

Where to find videos for instruction

Edudemic has divided their videos by the following categories: Educational, General, Teacher Education, Lesson Planning, Science/Math/Technology, History/Arts/and Social Sciences, Video Tools, Network and Program, Free Movies and Clips, How-To, and Government and Organizations.

According to TED-ED: "Within TED-Ed’s growing library of lessons, you will find carefully curated educational videos, many of which represent collaborations between talented educators and animators nominated through the TED-Ed platform. This platform also allows users to take any useful educational video, not just TED's, and easily create a customized lesson around the video. Users can then distribute TED-Ed lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on the world, a class, or an individual student."

100 YouTube videos that can provide supplementary information for the class, give inspiration, help you keep control of class and even provide a few laughs here and there.
