You Tube has been on our radar for a long time, and it's not just for viral videos. It is excellent research when one is trying to learn something that's not easily shared verbally. We have used You Tube to research period dance steps, to compare operatic performances, and (of course) to check out Harry Potter Pocket Pals.
Yes, our school blocks it due to bandwidth demand as well as security issues, but there are so many ways to get around it. We also subscribe to Discovery Streaming as a source for educational videos. The huge downside is how quickly one can eat up great blocks of time idly viewing. As we did, searching for various library and librarian videos. The student librarians singing "I Want to Be A Librarian" (apologies to the "The Producers") was very dear -- obviously an assignment. But ultimately Cookie Monster called to me.
