I’m continuing with end-of-year “Best” lists.

THE BEST THIRTY-FIVE WEB 2.0 APPLICATIONS FOR EDUCATION IN 2019.
The Best Social Studies Websites – 2019 (Part Two)
Best Videos For Educators In 2019 – Part Two

In short, there are many ways to use them that promote speaking, listening, writing and reading (including having students describe – in writing and verbally – a chronological description of what they saw).
You can see all previous editions of this list, as well as other “Best” lists related to videos, here.
