This is a tool that I have been using alot for my classes already this semester. I am so grateful that the "powers that be" have allowed us access to this tool this year. There are certainly some things on You Tube that would not be very useful in the classroom. Our adminstration has decided to offer access to the students as well as the teachers and I personally applaud that decision. Students have utilized clips in my classes in order to enhance their presentations.
The clip that I chose for this assignment is called the "Top Ten Live TV Freudian Slips." This clip is actually perfect for my psychology classes. I teach a unit in those classes devoted to Freud and his ideas. Often, I have tried to come up with a good example of a Freudian slip for my students and this video (although a bit racy) is perfect to show this Freudian theory to my classes. They are all juniors and seniors, so I feel that I could show it to them without being too offensive.
Here is the link to the video clip:

I have to relate one quick story about You Tube. I added a unit on the study of Serial Killers to my psychology classes and we were watching a segment from the A and E Biography about Ted Bundy. My seventh hour was sitting in the dark watch a clip about a total sick and twisted human being. We were all leaning forward and totally enthralled by the horror in front of us, when down the hall came the FCHS choir singing "Joy To The World." My students and I all cracked up. It was hilarious.
