Using YouTube 2

Following the earlier post on the value of YouTube for revision, it's worth doing a quick search to see whether there is appropriate revision material available.
It's good to see that several teachers are creating and sharing this material.
Miss Room has a YouTube channel of videos that have had over 10 000 views in total (as of today) and cover a range of useful topics for GCSE Geography.

Why not set up your own YouTube channel ? It's easier than ever to record digital video these days - your phone probably allows you to take a video.

It's good to see a teacher who is sharing materials that are helpful not only to her own classes, but to anyone who finds them online. Also follow Miss Room on Twitter @GeographyCarrie

Using YouTube

Remember that when you are on a page with a YouTube clip, you can set it to start at a certain time.
The information can then be shared in a URL or a hyperlink so that the video plays at a certain time. This can get over the problem of a long lead time, and also allows you to save the video to your favourites.
Once a video is saved in your favourites, as long as you are logged in, you can then use YouTube XL, which will remove the comments below a film, which can often be seen by students and are sometimes not particular suitable for viewing in a classroom...

Increasingly, schools are realising that there are benefits in removing the barriers to the use of this website.

If you are unable to view YouTube clips in your classroom, remember that you can always use


Do you have any favourite YouTube clips that you use for GCSE Geography Revision or teaching ?
