Currently, YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine behind Google! I have recently discovered the many uses of this site concerning marketing. In the past, I simply viewed it as a storage place for videos, to include music or any other type of video. Yet, it is more than that as we all know. It has produced fame and generates popularity among viewers...when incorporated into social communities another factor plays part. Viewers who share their favorite videos on facebook and/or twitter for example create potential for videos to go viral.
YouTube videos are great teaching tools. Yet, having students engage in search techniques may not be a good idea. I find YouTube as the best asset on the web for tutorials and things of that nature. I think YouTube will be a large part of my classroom!
