#21 YouTube and TeacherTube


It's a sad day when you show this clip to a class and a student asks 'what's the problem' with this maths.
Abbot and Costello Maths Problem

It's sadder when the same student can't find the left-handed screwdriver or the can of striped paint...but that's another funny story altogether.



YouTube is blocked for student use at school, but it is open for teacher use. I find clips are quite handy for prompting discussion on various topics, but sometimes it's hard to find the most appropriate clip.
TeacherTube refines the search even further and also searches files, docs and photos if you want education based content.
