Educational video and its uses on You Tube

Abstract

A proposal for the design of a distance learning activity on the pedagogical use of YouTube is described. For the training of 27 teachers from Mid High Education of the University of Guadalajara in collaboration with the Virtual University of Guadalajara, to deliver the course we used the Google Classroom platform and the social network Facebook. The course aims to train teachers to understand and make use of technological tools that enable distance education. The proposal describes and highlights the potential of video and pedagogical use of youtube in times of the COVID-19 pandemic as a means to strengthen distance learning. For the data analysis, the videos and final reflections of each participant were reviewed, to recognize, guidelines that emerge from the data that generate sense looking for themes that could give a clue to organize the data. The recurrent and the particular constituted elements of inquiry. When the teachers were developing the videos, they modeled the contents, taught and selected the most appropriate codes for their recipients to communicate the concepts, processes, and this somehow conditions the Learning of students. Recognizing the role of the audiovisual broadcaster has implications by recognizing them as a mediator because it is a teacher who has to appropriate the content and is in the process of appropriating the technological tools are used to communicate such content, but also, is appropriating a model of communicating the educational through audiovisual media.
