If you do not yet have an account you just need to create an account here. Next thing you need to do is go to YouTube.

It is best to create a new one for your class/school rather than use a personal one. So how do I set up a YouTube account?įirstly, you need to have a Google account if you do not have one already. The other great thing about YouTube is, if used safely, there is a whole load of informative videos available for free. This could be done by demonstrating their latest science experiment, as an example. Students can then upload their own videos to show their understanding of the lesson. Videos also help to keep students engaged in the lesson. They help to explain difficult topics through a visual representation.

eLearning videos can be a very powerful tool, especially for students. Having a YouTube channel for your School or your individual classes is a great idea.
