__Comments and Questions but also see my ppt on why/ how to create an account__ ** A. Yes. ** The students are “all the time” and they will (probably) never know there is a(n) ALA, Library of Congress, NASA, National Geographic PBS, Anne Frank, NOVA, Smithsonian, biography, History, A&E… channel unless we tell (or show) them. ** A. Yes. ** But they will see it anyway if they look for it! My point is – Give them good stuff to see. ** A. Nope. ** But you can! I would not put videos of students on the school Youtube channel. ** A. I would not. ** You have no control over what they put there or who comments on their page. Plus they will leave the school at some point. I would suggest getting the actual videos from the student(s) and upload it to your school site. Assuming they are appropriate! ** A. Absolutely  **. Build your channel and add videos in playlists for your classroom. Setting it up can be a little spooky but once it is done – adding videos is a breeze. Have a student build it for you and change the password when (s)he is done! ** A. Heck no. ** I got a book from the county library, created my account and played around at the site. You can too!
