What do you like or dislike about YouTube? Did you find videos that would be useful for teaching and learning? Is YouTube restricted in your building?
YouTube has a wealth of short clips that can be shown to students. I recall the "One Semester of Spanish Spanish Love Song" which amused my students and showed them what could be done with minimal Spanish skills! I have also used YouTube clips to show cultural celebrations such as the Tomatina in Spain and the Day of the Dead in Mexico as well as clips of music and dance to bring these to life rather than just reading about them. I have never joined YouTube, but did so for this exercise and commented on a cute ticklish kitten video that one of my students suggested that I watch. I am glad that YouTube is now accessible at my school, and will continue to use it in the classroom.

The possibilities are endless with Youtube - as good as Discovery Streaming Video is, it just does not have the choices that you can get on Youtube
