YouTube and teaching...

So... I want my students to write. I suppose you do also. I want my students to compose, not copy. I suppose you do also.

If we assume that YouTube is accurate (which it largely is), and we use the videos as sources for writing... then we can minimize students access to text that can be copied and pasted.

Stick with me... students are assigned the task of writing a research paper and they must use YouTube videos as sources.

Just wondering if it would work... I think I will try it!
