Best YouTube Videos in the WebSights Column

 

A presentation from the 2016 Winter Meeting: New Orleans, Louisiana

Abstract

I will present some of the outstanding YouTube videos selected and published in the WebSights column of The Physics Teacher from the founding of YouTube in 2005 through to the present. Caveats on the limited learning power of YouTube videos will be shared as well as remarks on what I believe makes a great physics YouTube video. Finally, I will present efforts colleagues and I are currently undertaking to support my own students in creating their own physics YouTube videos to promote their own physics learning.
