**What is Youtube**
Youtube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos, and uses Adobe Flash Video and HTML5 technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, BBC, Vevo, Hulu and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.

**Teachers**
We must educate the students we have, not the student we used to have, nor the student we wished we had. We must adapt to today's student, not them adapting to us. We must adapt to their world of today's 21st century technology. We cannot teach like we've taught forever anymore. We must change ourselves to adapt to their world. Today's student is the millennial, born 1982-2000. They are the first networked generation. They are hyper-communicators and must "power down" just to go to school. One way that we can reach them is through YouTube. The world is changing and our own standards must change in order to move forward. Students are writing short blurbs and video-taping their lives.


 * You can have students to:**

1) Find YouTube videos that relate to classroom topics. 2) You can have them to create their own videos, perhaps in the form of a video "manual" for a project they've created.
