Introduction:

Today, internet users immerse themselves in this gigantic internetwork in which the "World Wide Web that is “read only” becomes “Read Write Web” (Gillmor, 2007) (Duffy, 2008), when static contents undergo a paradigm shift to become multi-dimensional, when YouTube has become a significant part of virtually every netizen’s life. How is this affecting human relations and how should teachers react to this drastic and inevitable change? This paper will look into the effects of digital technology on human interactions while focusing on YouTube, introduce and apply the techno-behavioural cycle to explain the needs of students today, and discuss the pros and cons of using YouTube in teaching with relevance to my own teaching experiences.  I conclude with some suggestions for teachers to “YouTubate” ourselves -- to intubate resources on YouTube into our lessons.

Opinions:
