Discover YouTube (Thing #20)

There is a Dan Rather video on YouTube which depicts him spending several minutes deciding whether or not he wants to wear a trench coat during his report, and then deciding whether or not the collar should be up or down. Katie Couric did a spoof on it, and her spoof ended up on youtube also! Youtube is a wonderful resource for teachers, such as the documentary produced by the Lincoln Institute discussing issues surrounding the drafting of the Emancipation Proclamation. Just about any recently televised important event can be found on youtube, such as presidential debates, interviews, and newscasts.
