I LOVE YOUTUBE! I love, love, love this site. I use it with my school family meetings, I use it for personal use (how to use the IPAD, show my children an episode of the Smurfs, etc). I love the ease of use, and how many amazing videos there are for not only curriculum topics, technology topics, but also for personal topics. My daughter is into gymnastics and they have floor routines for each level. I can see myself utilizing not only YouTube, but Teacher Tube as well. If you haven't seen that yet, please take a moment to check it out, it filters a bit of the inappropriate videos and allows students more freedom. It is not blocked in the district although YouTube is.
For all of the IPAD owners out there...

Yes - teacher tube has been one our favorites for a while. As a teacher - you should have access to youtube at school - the students don't, but if you are logged in you can access it from school.
