With the volume of free videos readily available within YouTube, Vimeo and other online learning portals, it is no surprise that educators are also turning to them within the teaching and learning environment.
As a popular medium of choice with young children, it seems only natural that this familiar and widespread platform is also extended pedagogically into the classroom.
