Posting #2

Your second blog post this week will be a short critique of a YouTube video. Choose any of the posted videos or discuss them cumulatively as to how you might use YouTube within your own environment to deliver instructions to your students.

I truly love how just about anything can be learned by watching You Tube.  Don't get me wrong; I'm an avid reader and I take my kids to the library every week, but there's something much more intriguing about watching a video to learn a concept rather than reading step-by-step instructions about that same concept.

One of my favorite You Tube videos are by a teacher named, "tontitofrito."

You can go to this general link for tontitofrito and then type in the grammar rule you want to learn.  You can't get it any better than this- it's an engaging video and it's FREE!  I love to use these as supplemental tutorials to our book's tutorials.  Some students just follow them better than the ones that come with the book.

I used to make my own tutorials but it seems pretty redundant to make my own when his are more high-tech and are exactly like I teach anyway!  I can't recommend a better Spanish website!
