== =**READY TO START USING YOUTUBE IN YOUR CLASSROOM? HERE ARE SOME IDEAS TO GET YOU GOING.**=


 * 100 [|Best YouTube Videos] for Teachers**: Videos are grouped by discipline such as art, science, etc.


 * English/Languages:** [|YouTube] videos are used to enhance lectures, clarify with students the subtle hints of language, and to further explain grammar. In this [|lecture], a professor explains the difference between now and still. Pretty boring. However, here is a video on [|grammar] with two high school-aged students teaching vocabulary on grammar such as the parts of speech. Podcasts are a favorite of English class, reading aloud, guiding lessons, and keeping students up to date on grammar explanations we cover in class.


 * Social Studies**: Often the information in social studies is difficult to retain, and for students, unless anchored with some sort of [|mnemonic device], is difficult to be recalled. In [|7th grade history], for example, students are learning about Ancient History. One figure they study is [|Charlemagne]. In order for students to learn the facts of Charlemagne, a teacher could teach the material, but then enhance the teaching with a video from [|YouTube]. For an example of a catchy song packed with information, look at this video on [|Charlemagne].
