You Tube is an incredible phenomenon which went from nothing to everything + everywhere in only 5 short years. (I looked it up) It is a big time waster and an incredible resource. I laughed so hard at Carol Burnett and loved laughing baby, but I found my attention span shrinking. I often did not watch a video to the end.
I looked for middle school book trailers and found some very nice ones. I would love to try some with my middle school students. There are endless possibilites for school use, but I do think it is blocked at JWMS. Access and appropriate content are the big roadblocks, I think.
All teachers should have access to Youtube - it is blocked for students. Check it out if it is blocked to find out why...and, yes, it is definitely a time waster and an incredible resource all at once
