Do not — I repeat, NOT — drink milk while watching this, for it will shoot out your nose.
This one is also kind of cute, though it’s too long.

For the moment, I use YouTube just as my own teachers might have used videos or (when I was in high school) film strips. For instance, during my Basic Comp class I played a video of Larry Lessig discussing culture. (I just checked… that was actually on Google Video, but it’s the same idea.)
While I learned a lot from the lectures my professors gave when I was an undergrad, they were often speaking to classes of 100 or more. If you’re used to lecturing to 100, it’s not a big shift to do a video for thousands of viewers.
I teach at a small liberal arts college where my average class probably has 15 or so students, so I’m not that interested in “pushing” what I know into the eager young minds of students; I feel best about myself as a teacher when I get the students to draw insights from each other.
I usually do go into the classroom with a 15-minute mini-lecture planned out, and I will shift into it if the class discussion falters.
But if someone were to put a video camera in my classroom, the students might be quieter and take fewer risks if they knew what they said was going online. So I have never given any serious thought to that sort of thing.
In the spring, I’ll devote a “Media Lab” class to podcasting, and that will probably lead me to experiment more with narrated slideshows.
Dr. Jerz. This is hilarious!
How do you use U-tube in your classes? Also, would you consider posting some of your lectures there?
