There are some really fantastic videos on YouTube, and some horrid things. I've been frustrated at school trying to stream content (after we finally got YouTube unblocked), and I've found the best thing to do is download at home, burn onto a CD, and play back at school. This destroys any spontaneity to click through as each class takes its curiosity in different directions. I'm open to suggestions about how best to show video content from a live site. My current favorite YouTube video is
Taylor Mali - "What Teachers Make"
which I fully encourage you to check out. I think there are a couple of rude words in it, but the content is worth it. I'm not comfortable linking to it because it's not relevant to teaching math or science, but I wholeheartedly encourage anyone interested in teaching and teachers to check it out.
