Welcome to the space we carved out of the Internet for sharing.

Whether or not we want to admit it, we have all been tempted to watch the cute video of the cat playing the piano, or the bull dog skateboarding on YouTube. That video actually inspired me to try and teach my bulldog to skateboard (with no luck). The fact is that YouTube videos have inspired and educated tons of people. Educators have long been aware of the educational possibilities that YouTube has to offer, but it was nearly impossible to prevent student’s from accessing all of those cat videos, and the rest of the YouTube library. With that in mind, many schools and districts block YouTube.

Now YouTube offers a solution to this problem with the new YouTube EDU and YouTube for Schools.

I remember being surprised when I received my first text message from my 10-year-old niece. Although, I shouldn’t have been that surprised because she really isn’t that different from most students her age.

Today most students own a cell phone or smart phone. Mobile phones help students access the school’s website on the go, and educators are beginning to realize the many possibilities that mobile phones offer the classroom and beyond.
