Whoa! One could spend hours and hours viewing videos on YouTube! I guess that it would be very useful to "catch up" on any happening or event that one might miss--somebody probably videotaped it! I enjoyed searching for and finding old (really old) TV segments. I like the way that related videos are displayed also. After viewing the video "In My Language" from the suggested list, I was drawn into viewing about a dozen more videos on autism. I really learned a great deal about this disorder. Watching/viewing symptoms of autism really put a face on this disorder--much greater impact than merely reading a book.
Searching for videos for elementary art lessons didn't yield anything very useful.
I was able to accomplish Thing 7 on my computer at Reynolds School--YouTube is not restricted in our building, at least not on my teacher computer. I had no trouble viewing the videos.
I viewed a performance by Aretha Franklin singing an aria from the opera "Tarandot"--"Nessun Dorma." She was filling in at the last minute for Pavarotti, who was supposed to sing it, but was ill. Her performance was stunning--and I have copied the comment I left below:

I have always loved Aretha Franklin--but this performance makes me realize why--so strong, and her interpretations of the music are unique. Like any artist in any medium, the same subject matter can be portrayed in astoundingly unique ways. I loved this version as much as Pavarotti's--both wonderful and so moving, and yet so very different.

I love that Youtube is no longer blocked -- but I agree there is much more here for more mature students
