I've been to YouTube before and I think is a great resource for ANYTHING; you name it, it's probably there. I can totally understand why the district firewall won't admit it, some of it may not be appropriate for kids. I found this cool video about Web 2.o and all the tools we've been exploring in 23Things. It's called Networked Student. It sets an example of a high school student that uses all the resources that the Internet has to offer to do research on a project for a class. He uses GoogleScholar, Deliciuos, RRS feeds, blogs, etc. I thought it was pretty interesting because you can see Library 2.o in action.
I also tried TeacherTube, but it was a little bit too slow for me. The videos took a long time to download and buffer (it may just be my Internet connection). Also, the searching wasn't very specific. It's also a great tool, specially if it's narrowed for instructional and educational purposes, I'll explore it when I have more time.
