week 9, thing #20, discover YouTube and a few sites

If in need of a video that won't take up too much of a class period, I turn to YouTube. It can be used as the focus of a lesson, reinforce what has been covered or as enrichment. It can even be a class project. I find students very willing and creative.
I was curious to see if there were any videos for a book that was covered in class this summer. Sure enough there were about a half dozen or more. Here is the clip for Farhenheit 451:
YouTube - Fahrenheit 451
On a personal note, I may very well look into taking up piano. There are oodles of lessons on YouTube. I wonder what more I can learn from the Tube.
