Thing #20

I LOVE YouTube! I have used it many times in the past. I use it mostly to check out music videos, but there are so many other things I have found on there! I really like the ease of navigation. Though there is a lot of inappropriate content (most likely the reason it is banned from our schools), it is not hard to stay away from it. If you use search terms that tell what you're looking for, it's not likely to bring up anything inappropriate.
For my video, I chose to include the speech made by 10 year old Dalton Sherman at the Dallas ISD convocation. This video has been circulating through our school system recently, and I thought it might be inspiration to some others as well.
I think this would be good if applied to a library site if the librarian made their own videos to go on YouTube. That way it would directly relate to whatever is going on at the school. There are, however, some other interesting things out there that would be good for kids to see on their website. I saw several videos of children's books being read. That would be a good way of incorporating videos for smaller kids.
