Effective Instruction - YouTube is frequently used by learners as a resource or supplementary material instead of traditional learning. According to Burgess & Green (2009), instructors are seeing the value of YouTube within instructional design as 80% of millennials actively interact over social media applications and YouTube. An example of 21st century instruction is using YouTube to design a website or blog. Therefore, students are receiving hands-on instruction that allows them to play, stop, pause, and rewind through the entire instruction.

Strategies for Integration – In order to successfully integrate YouTube into learning, the instructor must be competent in using the application. In addition, teachers and instructors report using YouTube for materials that they do not feel confident in tackling in the classroom (Pecay, 2017). Finally, instructors will need to scrutinize material to ensure that proper instruction is given by vetting the video and checking facts. Once the right content is found, instructors can utilize YouTube in a number of methods.
