Resources links and/or class examples:
 * Here is the link to a sample I started while investigating the site using one of my own videos I posted to YouTube (an assignment from another class): []

Strengths:
 * Free
 * Videos from YouTube may be embedded
 * Vides many be edited
 * Can be posted to Facebook and other networking sites
 * Same username and password as BannerSnack account
 * HTML standard scripts

Weaknesses:
 * Not good for all students. For upper-level elementary or older
 * May take a lot of preparation for student use. Training on proper use is a must.
 * Be careful of student use – can be made public
 * Email is attached to account – all students could publish under teacher account

Opportunities:
 * Videos/video playlists can be published, downloaded, and shared.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Meets the needs of individual learners, more reluctant learners.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Threats:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student personal information should not be included.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Parent permission a must – if published, banner is available to public

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ideas for the classroom:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Book report
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Beginning of Year activity
 * <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Content area – summary (i.e. role of heart in circulatory system, an animal’s physical/behavioral adaptation, introduction of an explorer, “ad” for tourists to visit a specific state)
