Week 9 -- # 20 You Tube and other Video Sites

I have several favorite videos that people have made me aware of on You Tube, one of which is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1X55b6t-UM which is, of course, about an animal...a VERY intelligent dog. It's a great, short video which I will try to imbed but if it doesn't work, please click on the link and watch it. You Tube has some wonderful videos and some very inappropriate ones so in any setting, it must be closely monitored. For the library/classroom, you might want to check Teacher Tube also. There are some excellent videos in both sites and if used properly, can add much to a lesson, unit of study. As a teacher, I would suggest downloading the video you want to use and utilize it in that way but not setting students out on the site to search. There is way too much inappropriate material for them to do that. The video should be imbedded below this sentence.
