YouTube is a fantastic way to connect with your wider learning community.

As with any form of media sharing you need to be a little bit careful since YouTube is an open site. YouTube is not only a fantastic environment for sharing student learning, but it is also a great place to find videos that will engage your students in different subjects and topics.

For example, I love animation and what better way to show your students examples of fantastic animation then on YouTube. As long as you acknowledge the owners of the video and provide a link back to the original clip, people generally don't mind you sharing their work.

This clip is called "Western Spaghetti" by PES.

It is one of my favourite animation clips to show my students. media type="custom" key="6879365" align="center"

Another good one is "Deadline a post-it animation" by Bunliu. media type="custom" key="6879369" align="center"

As long as you remember to uncheck the 'Include related videos' box, the use of YouTube videos is perfectly safe. Another fun thing to do is to add clips of science experiments, especially of ones that are impossible to do in the classroom. **Use Quietube to remove all advertising and related videos.**
