Tammy Worcester is a teacher and presenter at many technology conferences.  Her tips include using the internet, Powerpoint, Word, and Google with students for fun and learning.  Check out this site.  
   
  Here is an example of one of Tammy's Tips of the Week:  
  http://www.tammyworcester.com/TipOfWeek/TammyWTechTipOfWeek/Entries/2009/1/30_Tip_63_-_KickYouTube.html  
 
This tip explains how you can save a YouTube video (which you find at your home) to a format that will run on the school computers.  This will allow you to use YouTube videos in your classroom.  As you know many YouTubes are educational, but many are not, so it is blocked here at school.  This is one way to work around it.
