Y is for YouTube & Other Educational Videos

I'm currently participating in 

an ABC's for homeschooling challenge.  

Since it falls on Tuesdays, 

I am adding a technological slant to the challenge.  

I hope you stay tuned and enjoy my entries.

I like the idea that there are videos available to us.  Even better is that many of the videos are educational.  That's a goldmine for homeschooling families.  The only thing better is that they are free to view.  Below is a compilation of videos (many of them in YouTube) that I found, based on topic.  Enjoy:

Please forgive this lackluster blog entry.  I am not feeling very well at this moment.  I am also torn with my other hobby--crocheting.  I had started this list and barely visited the websites, but I pray this list helps someone.  God bless!

Well, thanks for viewing this blog entry about YouTube and how it can be used in our home school.

Next week, I hope to cover the letter Z.  

Please stay tuned!

How about you, my readers?  Do you ever visit the YouTube website or other video-based websites?  If so, do you view educational videos?  Or do you visit YouTube for entertainment purposes?  I think YouTube is a wonderful website with many educational possibilities.  I believe in finding technological tools to help in the home school. 

I pray that God gives you all, my beloveds, His wisdom and peace.
