Youtube is by far my most used platform to learn from. I remember being in nursing school and we were told about an upcoming medication calculation test that we would have to do without calculators. I had a mental breakdown and then used Youtube to re-learn long division by hand.
With that being said, I was still surprised when I saw it was #1 on the list! For this class, when diving into the assignment of writing my teaching philosophy statement, and went back to my tried and true scholar for inspiration (Annie).
For Youtube, you do not have to create an account to have access to it's resources. From my first intial search of "how to write a teaching philosophy statement" I landed on this video:
The next best thing about Youtube is the suggested feature on the right. I moved it over to the highlighted "learning" tab, and found even more specific resources.
Piggybacking off of this, Youtube has a section specifically for Ted Talks that are educational. This is a great resources to learn anything and everything. I am going to link this video about finding motivation:
If you do love youtube as much as I do, please post below the most helpful videos you've watched!

I did a training event for faculty some years ago that took place not long after a pretty big snowstorm. In college emails, people referred to it as a "snowpocalypse" and we used that the add a theme to our training. One thing we did was ask faculty to add songs about snow to a YouTube playlist. That is below. On the upper right of the player you can see there are 21 songs.
The other thing we did was have them add pictures to a Google Photo album. We played the music as people were coming into the event and we used the images in a slideshow as they were walking into the space. It was nice that they all created the sound and sights of the event.
