YouTube+as+a+Teaching+Tool

YouTube is like anything else on the Internet; it has lots of good stuff and some stuff you'd rather kids didn't see. Don't be afraid to embrace the educational value of select content on YouTube. Many school districts have blocked sites like YouTube but if you present a convincing argument to your principal or division watch dogs you may get YouTube access released to teachers.
