I'm not a major You Tube watcher but I have seen a few videos. On election day, my social studies classes viewed an election video posted by the Ron Clark Academy. I had seen it the night before on the national news and it fit the criteria for showing it in the classroom. The kids (and staff) loved it. Have you ever seen "One semester of Spanish"? Don't miss it! So, You Tube is not banned in my district. I think it has its merits as long as teachers use it wisely. I liked looking through the Teacher Tube and School Tube. I'll let my staff know about them and perhaps a short clip now and then would be a benefit.
Many students would love to create their own You Tube videos. What better way for allowing a more creative outlet? However, it does pose problems as streaming live does not always allow for a smooth feed. This is an issue we'd need to work on with our tech departments.
