content learning and critical literacy skills... with the YoouKids iPad app

The YoouKids iPad app provides students with isolated access to teacher created and/or teacher selected YouTube videos and/or playlists.

I use the YoouKids iPad app as an instructional resource across the curriculum to enhance and extend instruction and student learning.

The First Grade Butterflies use the YoouKids iPad app to access individual videos and/or playlists.

Access to YouTube videos of demonstrations, presentations, commercials, documentaries, news-clips, animations, and... supports learning and development of content knowledge and development and application of media literacy, critical literacy, and communication skills.  Videos promote interest and engagement through providing sensory experiences in which meaning of concepts and ideas are constructed through multi-modal processing.

The YoouKids iPad app provides the ability to incorporate YouTube videos as a beneficial facet of learning and instruction in a safe, monitored, and organized format.
