Youtube and other video applications have become very well known and highly used not only to document family outings but also for lectures, current events and historical commentary. This Web 2.0 allows the instructor to use these video internet assets to be used in actual quizzes and test. Just like an illustration the video is embedded into the test and the questions can be placed underneath it. It utilizes all the question forms from true & false to essay. Technology can now be used to even enhance the testing process. In art there are a great number of videos that are available for the class room. In the past these videos were seen and then not seen again not even when they are most needed during tests. This app. along with imovie allows the teacher to select clips from the movies that the students have viewed and embed them into the test. Student now have an accurate frame of reference and a great tool for remembering the content. Art needs the ability to use images when ever it can. It is visually based and to change the context from visual to written even on test I feel is quite unfair. This will give my students a fair playing field even on test. Multiple intelligence apply even when we do assessment doesn't it? This application is another one I hope to use in the near future.
