YouTube is increasingly becoming an extremely important resource for teachers and students alike. It is disappointing however some schools disallow students access though the schools network when it can allow students so much learning content right at their fingertips. Especially for high level mathematics concepts, having something explained by someone else may resonate more with different students. I myself have picked up different things from different videos when working on mathematics problems.

Wow what a great resource, for so many different reasons. Having something like this in high school could've saved me a lot of money instead of paying tutors for help. If schools put more thought into implementing YouTube into pedagogy I think it would be very beneficial to students. The learning of students could be further continued and reinforced by watching these in a classroom setting then practicing the work, while the teacher can help the students who need it most, instead of being spread out thin over 30 odd students. The fact that this is free and is easily accessible is a godsend. Maths teachers should consider creating videos of their work for the class to re-watch. This would be especially helpful with preparing for exams and would take some stress of teachers trying to reply to emails and such.
