I was talking to a friend of mine today about different videos on YouTube, and I was astonished by how many videos that I consider to be ‘mandatory viewing’ he hadn’t seen. I’m not talking about the video of my son’s bris (although it IS compelling), I mean some of the videos that have simply rocked me out of my chair and have caused me to spend days thinking about the implications of them. Or that I still pull out as examples during presentations or forward on to colleagues on a regular basis.

So with that, I figured it’s time to share some of my favorite videos on YouTube. Not necessarily the funniest, or the most popular, but ones that I think every educator should see at least once. Ones that I feel are significant for one reason or another. Not a complete list by any means either. Consider it a starting point.

Take a look through them, but also take a few minutes to consider what’s missing from this list. Are there any that you consider to be mandatory? If so, share a link to them in the comments so we can all add them to our lists.

Enjoy!

Nice choice of videos! I don’t really have a video to add to the list however I like the idea of using YouTube Videos as writing prompts in the classroom. See some examples here:
