Thing #20

It is interesting to think that YouTube was still a relatively new site when the 23 Things were created, and now, just 5 years later, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who isn't familiar with it.  I have been using YouTube for quite a few years now and love the convenience it offers in finding videos.  I have used it to find instructional videos for the classroom as well as enjoyed perusing some of the funnier videos in my spare time at home.  

YouTube is a great supplemental aid in teaching, especially in science where animated videos of cellular processes, things that cannot be seen otherwise, are becoming more accessible.  This could also be of great use for school libraries to create an online video library as a resource for students and teachers.



One of the thins I love most about YouTube is its plethora of funny videos.  I truly believe that laughter is medicine for the soul, thus these are typically the kind of videos I seek out on YouTube when I am just looking around.  The video I have included is called People Falling Off Treadmills and it is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.  Enjoy!
