Me again:

I should clarify:  she wants the students to search youtube and asses the accuracy of what they have found.  

She doesn't want curated videos, she wants them to (gasp!) make mistakes and learn from them.  

Sorry, I appreciate all the kind responses, but it's not just showing them videos, it's about them finding and assessing information.

Hi Folks:

I have a middle school teacher with a lesson plan on assessing information sources and media literacy.

She used to use Youtube but can no longer use that according to state and district policy.

Since her students often get their news or information through video, she wanted them to asses their preferred media.

Does anyone have a viable alternative?

Thanks,
Matt

Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered.
