I often use videos in my class, but I use real player to download them into my computer to play for my class. We are blocked from using You Tube in our school district.
We will be starting Hands on Algebra on Monday and I found this video on You Tube. I struggle to find videos that are specific enough and I would like to create some of my own.
The risks of using vidoes are nill if you check them out ahead of time and the rewards are that the students gain from the content and presentation. I would not consider playing a video without checking it out first.

I fail to understand why YouTube is blocked for teachers' use. There is a lot of great content out there, and it's far easier to bookmark a video to show in class than to make teachers jump through the hoops of downloading the video at home and transferring it to school.
