Sign Up for YouTube

First step in signing up for You Tube is that you need to go here! In the top right hand corner is where you will see the words "sign up". Click on that and it will bring you to a page for you to create your username, password, and additional information. Then at the bottom is where you click "sign up." You will then receive an email saying Welcome to your You Tube account.

Here is a wonderful video showing you how to sign up for a You Tube Account. Sometimes for the visual learners (such as myself) this is more beneficial. 

This would best match with Standard # 3: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning.  By being able to demonstrate how to access and create a YouTube account is a good way to show how current and up to date an Educator is. Not only by just telling or informing the students this is a great way to actually show them how to do it. YouTube is a sticky subject at my current school but if used appropriately it can be a great teaching tool. YouTube could be a great way to communicate with parents needing help with their child's homework, give students extra examples to aid them in their work, and a great addition to any lesson.
