Due to the slow speed of my laptop, this was a frustrating experience. The videos took a long time to download, so only showed in bits and pieces, so that you really didn't get the jist of the video. For example, On Teacher Tube, I was trying to look at a multiplication rap, but you couldn't get the full effect of the rap. The comments for this video were great, so I think it was a good one. The other thing that I found frustrating, was that I couldn't find age appropriate items even though I looked at groups, then searched "elementary, and grades K-5. You Tube is always fun to spend time on, but again this was frustrating due to the slow speed of this computer today. I can't think of a way to use these tools as a way to promote reading and writing except to show a clip as a starting point for writing or find a clip that has writing for students to read, such as the science clip Rosa found that had clues, and students tried to guess what the animal was. Here is a clip I 'll use from School House Rock.

The laptop is without a doubt fast enough to handle youtube and teacher tube. The slowness would have to be from the connection to the interent.
Where were you? What type of connection did you have?
