Thing #22 - Video

I've used YouTube often - to show Sesame Street videos to my son, to catch up on TV shows that I missed, and to laugh at the "angry teacher" videos. Plus, there are good videos about the future of education. Unfortunately, it is banned in my school district, so I have not really thought much about using it for teaching and learning. I do think that teachers could save videos and then show them at school, but it would take more work outside of school. Overall, all of the other sites - TeacherTube, SchoolTube, and TED are great tools, but they don't have even close to as many videos as YouTube. I wish that school districts could block certain videos but not the whole thing. There are great things out there that are censored for no good reason except paranoia.
