YouTube is Growing up

YouTube is growing up and heading off to college. Well sort of. Youtube launched a new section of their service: http://www.youtube.com/edu is a collection of resources provided by colleges and universities. This update in what and how content is delivered may give YouTube a greater legitimacy. YouTube has long been seen as a source of silly videos, but it is quickly becoming more mainstream and providing more content that is not only ok but really very good and powerful. Educators can use these resources with some increased confidence as YouTube continues to grow up.
