YouTube is one of my favorite channels when it comes to browsing educational videos. However, there are some major flaws with using YouTube for educational purposes, in the classroom and beyond. One flaw is that students can easily end up watching videos that they have no business seeing in the school setting or anywhere for that matter. Also, the videos on Youtube are not very well organized, so you are left carrying out many searches, thus wasting time.
