Thing #20: Youtube

Youtube has many videos that can be useful in the classroom. There are informative videos such as The Elements of Art, which explains the elements and would be an upgrade from a simple PowerPoint presentation. You can also use Youtube to show things that you are learning about that you can't physically show students. Say you're teaching a lesson on cave art and you can't bring the students to a cave. You can show them a virtual tour of the Lascaux Cave Art.
The only thing I think you should be weary of on Youtube is that you cannot control what pops up in advertisements or similar videos. I recommend using a bookmarking site to have the actual video ready and then keeping your projector off until the video is running just to be safe.
