YouTube Video Playlist

In the video below, you will see a YouTube playlist I have created that contains four videos about the life cycle of a frog. While many people are familiar with YouTube, not everyone is familiar with YouTube playlists. A YouTube playlist is a collection of videos that allows its user to watch a variety of videos on related topics in the same YouTube link. The videos in a playlist will automatically play, one after the other, until all of them have been watched, or they can be selected by the viewer in the viewer's order of preference. I created my YouTube playlist by searching for educational YouTube videos that teach about the life cycle of a frog and then combining them into one playlist using the available tools in my YouTube account. YouTube playlists can be very helpful for education in that they can contain instructional videos, can supplement learning with additional internet information, and can be used by students to demonstrate their creativity and technological skills.

My playlist includes videos about the life cycle of a frog. Each video is unique in its presentation of information on the topic. The first video is a fun song that presents some general frog life cycle vocabulary, the second is a narrated example of frog development in a backyard pond, the third is a video containing an animation that follows a frog's life cycle, and the fourth is a narrated description of the frog life cycle with higher level concepts. Please feel free to watch my YouTube playlist, and I hope it serves to educate you about the benefits of playlists and to educate you about the details behind the life of a frog.
