Questions:
1. What would be some advantages of having teaching/learning videos available on online at sites like YouTube?
There are many benefits involve, for example the students can learn and understand complex concepts visually and auditory, and at the same time, they can create own videos reproducing the knowledge in their own words. This cyber tool helps the instruction and the learning in an enjoyable, exciting and engaging way for students.
2. What about student created work -- would there be advantages to having it uploaded? Explain.
When students create their own artifacts, they feel proud of their creativeness and they want to review their final product over and over, and if they receive recognition for it, their feelings of efficacy increases. The students didn't know that every time they are seeing their final products are learning over and over. This cycle of proud-learning-review helps them to remind the concept and eliminate errors of understanding and make the knowledge deeper.
