Learning on the Go with YouTube Subscriptions

YouTube is used to share home videos, opinions on the latest Star Wars movie, highlights from sporting events, and much more. Educators use YouTube to share insights into their teaching strategies, resources they've created, and technology tools. At the same time, many education service providers use YouTube to deliver training, inspire teachers, and introduce new technology.

How can we keep up with it all?

By subscribing to YouTube channels from some of the brightest minds and the most helpful services, teachers can more easily keep up. YouTube subscriptions are easy to access and follow.

Here I demonstrate how to subscribe and share some of my favorite YouTube subscriptions.
