The video that I have chose is on a game called Tchouke ball and I would use this video in the gym to show to my students prior to starting this unit with them. I taught this unit during one of my student teaching placement and found that the students were more involved in the game after watching how intense the professionals play the game. I think that using multimedia in the classroom allows students to see various aspects of the information you are trying to teach them. Teaching this unit you could always only demonstrate how the game should be played but seeing at such an intense speed as this allows students to really connect to what they are learning. I think that allowing students to create their own videos is beneficial because they then can assess them to review information, as well as using what they know in order to create the you tube video. I think that in my own classroom I would use the videos on the classroom website or on their blogs but I don't know if I would post them on YouTube if it was of students at a younger age. And of course having parental permission would be something that would need to be sorted out also. Having videos allows students to learn in the various methods of visual, auditory, kinaesthetically, and allows endless possibilities for students.
