How many times have you been in a class setting and someone pulls up a video from YouTube? Film/video can be a great tool for illustrating a point, using for a case study, or for other facilitation techniques. But what happens when you are teaching an online course?
Enter YouTubeSocial. Complete with chat capability, it makes it possible for everyone to be watching the same video at the same time and critiquing it at once. One person, presumably the facilitator/instructor, holds the "remote" and can stop, start, pause and everyone's screen does the same thing.
Shannon, This is really cool. The applicaitons in a learning community are endless, aren't they? Think of the ability to engage participants with the option of sharing the remote. So now they are not just watching a video, they are an active part of the leanring experience for all everyone. Great tool!
