I've been a fan of YouTube for a while; it's a fun place to watch silly videos and learn something, too. I have given numerous presentations during this program and have used many YouTube videos. This being said, I do have 2 issues with YouTube:
1. Many schools have it blocked on their server, so it's not accessible to me or students at school
2. The comments on some of the videos are vulgar (as are some videos) and I would not want a parent coming at me for sending their child to a website with lewd and lascivious behaviors being displayed.
I think SchoolTube may be more appropriate.
I chose these 3 videos... the first one is called Math Education: An Inconvenient Truth. I was interested to hear what this woman (a meteorologist - NOT a teacher) had to say about upper elementary math curricula. I was equally as interested to hear a college math professor respond to her video. The last video is about why cats purr... I found it fascinated and learned something new about my furry little felines :)
