• Pedagogical Approach: Resource-

based learning● Gathering information and formulating

questions based on the videos

● Examine accuracy of the video’s

contents and critique appropriateness

of videos

Affordances

• Low technology barrier• Wide library of videos• Allows viewing of scenarios/experiment that cannot be carried out in classroom

• Asynchronous, need to consider other’s comments• Promote social literacy

• Self-directed learning● Teacher provides the scaffold● Student have to explore, question and critique

• Collaborative learning● In group discussion● Combined effort learning outcome

Conclusion

• YouTube – an ICT platform that students are familiar with.

• YouTube encourages student centric learning

• YouTube provides technological, social and educational affordances that promotes meaningful learning
