Prepping for a YouTube Presentation

YouTube - ‪elemenous's Channel‬‏.

Next week, I'll be presenting with a slew of others at Google Days, a professional development event produced by Craig Nansen's school district in Minot, North Dakota. One of my session's will focus on YouTube, a service I've utilized for awhile, but never really demonstrated for educators. I'd like to add a creative slant to the presentation (which I'll post here when I'm done) and I need YOUR help. 
Above you will find a link to my channel, which I mainly use for bookmarking videos that I like and might use in my work. I also subscribe to many other channels as another way of garnering great videos and resources to support my work. My own videos aren't particularly useful; I wish I had more time to become a better producer of content. 

At any rate, I'm curious as to how others are using YouTube for educational purposes. YouTube is blocked in many schools, but that shouldn't stop educators from utilizing this rich resource in the classroom. Help me encourage others to re-think the use of YouTube by offering your tips here in this blog, by filming your thoughts and posting to YouTube (don't forget to post the link or email it to me), or by just sending links to your channel or your school's channel. 

Try out YouTube Labs, Video Editor, or these other YouTube partner tools to create a clip on how you use YouTube and I'll put your short story in my presentation. You can also just record using Photobooth or a web cam of your choice. It doesn't have to be long or fancy... 

Here are some questions that I have:
  • Do you have a YouTube channel? How do you use it mainly? Link?
  • Does your school have a YouTube channel? Link? 
  • Do you use YouTube in your classroom? How? 
  • How do you harvest YouTube videos to use in the classroom?  
  • What channels do you subscribe to?
  • What's the best educational resource in your opinion on YouTube? 
  • What's the funniest video you've seen related to technology and/or education?   
I'll be sure to post the slides for my presentation here along with all the relevant links, so that you can use the material in your own professional development efforts.
