Did you know that over 4 billion videos per day are watched on YouTube?
A person can find all sorts of facts about YouTube on the internet. I decided that since I was using Google to do most of (ok, all) my online searching, that I might as well just go straight to YouTube's statistics page. I found some pretty amazing numbers there, and would encourage you to look, specifically at the sections of 'Traffic' and 'Social' and consider why educational institutions would choose not to take advantage of YouTube.
YouTube is not only videos, it is one of the most vast digital communities in the world. We know that digital citizenship is now a crucial life skill for students to learn; why do some schools opt to deny access to the relatively safe training platform that is YouTube?
