Thing 12: Discovering YouTube

YouTube, a video-sharing website, is most definitely one of my all-time favorite sites.  I enjoy the versatility and ease of using YouTube.  However, using mobile devices to access YouTube can sometimes become a hassle if online features and videos cannot be viewed.  Most school districts block the use of YouTube due to explicit content in many shared videos.  There are, however, some legal ways to continue using YouTube in classrooms.  Other sites made specifically for use in classrooms are TeacherTube and SchoolTube.

The embedded video is a song that reminds me of life's many battles.  As we yearn to resist struggles, our smiles may be masked by internal feelings of failure, pain, and fears.  These obstacles can be overcome in the stillness of our hearts.


11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”  (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
