Thing 9

I find lots to like about You Tube. There is also a ton to hate -- but then I don't have to look at anything I don't choose to see. You Tube is blocked in my district. If I want to use video, I have to convert it to another format that the district will accept and post it to the network. It's just extra work -- I have to REALLY want to use the video with students.
Most recently I used video from You Tube to help a friend to teach her students how to interpret 'Silent Night' in American Sign Language.
My nieces and nephews post their videos to Facebook as well as You Tube. It's always fun to access their posts.
