Practical Tips (all link can be found on Gordon's blog here)
- To skip ads at the beginning of youtube videos : adblock
- youtube for schools will give tips on how to chop off beginning/end of movie. See here
- Destinos and other telenovelas: can be used for the classroom or professional development on one's own :)
- Khan Academy - serious, relevant lessons - Languages section "flipping the classroom": direct instruction happens at home with students watching a video, and students bring their questions to the classroom where the homework is also completed
- Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - A1, A2 ... C1, C2
- The "Flip" section on TedEd allows educator-teachers to customise the quiz, put open ended questions in Think. A unique link will be created. Can flip any Youtube video.
- learn360, discovery education (school board subscription needed)
- ****Keepvid bookmarklet**** Drag Keepvid bookmarklet towards the top of keepvid.com and drag it up to favourite bar. In the future, when visiting a youtube site, just click on the bookmarklet (because it's a javascript) and the video will be automatically downloaded for you
- ****Quietube**** also has a bookmarklet. It will eliminate the surrounding distractors on the platform on which the youtube video was hosted (useful when linking to a youtube video on teacher's blog for students to click on)
