Whether you want to provide additional support material to your students, show a quick clip of a demo in class, or totally flip your classroom, YouTube is an excellent resource for all teachers.
YouTube is owned by Google, so guess what, it works seamlessly with all GAFE products. You can add YouTube video directly to Google Slides (something you can’t always do in PowerPoint), onto a Google Site, or directly to Google Classroom.

In order to thoroughly and effectively discuss the many ways YouTube can be used in education, I have decided to break the topic down into 3 parts:
Part 1 will discuss YouTube Basics including: how to sign into Youtube, search YouTube, save relevant videos by creating playlists, and how to subscribe to favourite channels.
Part 2 will discuss how you and your students can seamlessly insert YouTube videos into most GAFE products.
Part 3 will discuss how you or your students can create and upload your own videos to YouTube.
