I love love love watching funny YouTube videos. After I clicked on the link for the Frozen Grand Central Station, I watched Improv Everywhere videos and laughed so hard.
I picked this video because even though it is silly, everyone needs a pick-me-up now and then, and this might be the highlight of their day. I thought this video was inspiring and made me feel better that people actually care and try to brighten people's day.
I like Youtube because it is really easy to find a video that interests you by just typing in a keyword. I also like that once you watch a video, the site will give you suggestions for other videos based on that video. I don't like that it can be hard to find a specific video if you don't know what it is called. Also, if you aren't careful, you can easily wind up somewhere you don't want to be. Overall though, I think Youtube is a fun site. It could be used in the classroom a number of ways. If a student is assigned a powerpoint or presentation, they could add a relatable video about their subject and add flair and interest to the presentation. I think as long as use of the site is monitored to make sure students stay on task and don't end up somewhere they shouldn't be, Youtube can be used as a teaching tool.
