YouTube -- Thing #20

One of the things I really dislike about YouTube is the amount of porn videos uploaded. When I clicked on the "Education" tab, almost 1/2 of the videos on the first page were sexual in content. That's never good as far as I'm concerned.

I did load the Obama video in the previous blog and thought it would be appropriate given what's going on in our country this year. I'd seen the still photo in emails, but the video speaks a whole different story. What I do like about YouTube is your ability to to "Share" videos with only two clicks from their page to my blog. Makes life easy in that respect.

I'm going to try to embed a video within this post and see if it works. I chose one of my favorites from TeacherTube (which I like MUCH better than YouTube), and I'm sure you'll recognize it as well.


I think some of the videos can be an incredible teaching tool, just like we've used here in our 23 Things.

I had forgotten about this video. Thanks for putting it on here. And I had never heard of TeacherTube so I have learned something! Your blog looks great!
