The bad news: YouTube is one of those things that literally has thousands of pieces of garbage that must be sorted through to find the one good gem that can be useful.
The good news: Those gems are often well worth the hunt, as they can be really great and useful in the classroom.
There are videos out there for nearly every topic within every subject, if you search long enough and look hard enough. History, science, math, even english (Hello School House Rock!) are all covered in some way, shape, or form. I already included a YouTube video in my instructional powerpoint that summarized the French and Indian War. In exploring some more, I found a channel that posts videos that briefly summarize and explain world history and biology. It is geared towards older ages, but is actually very informative in less than 15 minutes a video. It is suitably called, Crash Course!
