I liked youtube because it has all the resources for anything you need (almost). If students need to know how to do math, rules for English, set up a title page in Word, youtube has it! I chose this video because it is by Conrad Wolfram, which is a widely recognized math guru! I will be teaching math, so this was the perfect video for me. I think the related videos would be a nice touch to be added to the library. This is because when doing research, students have to search in many different places. A ten page paper can take you 15 hours just to get your content down on paper. From there you have to use appropriate formatting and citing! (I know this from experience). So, if the library used related sources links, it would cut down on researching time for students:)
I know my text looks awful, however, my video is at the top of my post and covers my color pallets :(
You are quiet right about it taking some many hours just to conduct the proper research to write a paper, and that yes youtube has a video for almost everything. I have to say when a research paper is assigned I believe teachers what the students to learn more about the topic and how to go about finding the information.I guess I am a little on the fence still. I think when the students are older then they should be allowed to use related source links, but I still think the younger children need to learn how to some good old fashion researching. Just my opinion though.
