Among other benefits, the integration of online videos in the classroom has been found to engage and educate students (Berk, 2009; Fleck, Beckman, Sterns, & Hussey, 2014; Roodt & Peier, 2013; Sherer & Shea, 2011). Furthermore, learners can pause and re-watch videos to assist with comprehension. To capitalize on the potential of online videos, educators can access YouTube, Ted-Ed., Vimeo, Hulu or any other of the many available online video websites. YouTube is among the best options due to its user friendly platform and countless number of videos which span a variety of topics. In fact, every minute, 300 hours of video are uploaded to the website (YouTube, n.d.). YouTube also provides channels which contain videos that may be dedicated to a specific topic or content area (e.g., math, social studies). This quick hit describes how purposefully selected and integrated YouTube videos served as a tool to engage and educate students in an online undergraduate and graduate Foundations to Bilingual and ESL (English as a Second Language) Education class. The undergraduate course was designed for pre-service teachers, while the graduate course was designed for in-service educators. In both courses, online videos were used to support key course topics, such as first and second language development; history of bilingual and ESL education; program models used with ELLs (English language learners), culture and ELL assessment. Although I will explain how online videos were used in my own content area, it should be noted that videos can be incorporated to teach any subject in online, face to face and hybrid classes. For face to face courses, the instructor can simply play the video from the computer which is projected onto a large screen. For online courses, depending on the instructional website’s capabilities, the instructor can embed a video or include a link to the video within the course website.
