I like that YouTube has such a variety of videos on so many different topics. It would so easy to find something to go along with a lesson. Students love media. They love tv, movies, and the internet. To incorporate that into learning would be a nice addition to the classroom that would engage them. I dislike that there are a lot of videos that are not appropriate for school. I find that videos would be useful in the classroom, however, I would need the appropriate technology in the classroom. Right now, YouTube is restricted in the building for the students. The teachers would need to find the appropriate information and display it for the students. With the way schedules fall with the Tech Lab, I only receive 45 minutes a week in the lab. Though that is still useful time, I feel that in order for this technology to fully benefit the students, each classroom needs to have the means to technology each day. It would be hard to group all of the students around one computer in the classroom to view a video. I agree with another posting I read, where she stated that a projector would be useful. I would absolutely love it if we had that so I could incorporate videos and technology much more often.

I would suggest that you download and save the video to your flash or computer. You can share the saved video(s)with the class by using your laptop and the projector. Many of the teachers know how to do this, purhaps you could ask them to show you how. You could also ask Kaly to show you how.
