Could be a great resource for class note etc.

]]> 2014-08-07 10:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachUniverse/rich-learning/wish/31246830 YouTube TeachUniverse https://padlet.com/TeachUniverse/rich-learning/wish/31246846 A no brainer, but you need to start thinking about how you can get kids to use YouTube both to learn and to share their own learning.
