My favorite YouTube Channels

We all have our favorite TV channels or magazines.  Do you ever flip through 100 channels of what seems to be nothing good on?  Do you peruse through a magazine to only find a single article that interests you?  YouTube provides everything that you would want to watch.

Did you know that you can Subscribe to a YouTube Channel in the same way?  A subscription gives you quick access to your favorite video resources.  If you have a Google account, then you already have a YouTube account, even if you have never used it.

NOVA - Based on the long-running PBS TV show, these are science-based.  They include impressive insight and acccess to the most amazing parts of our world.

Example: Crash Course - These  nice library of science and social studies resources were created by a pair of brothers. They are typically 10-15 min. long. Example: Crash Course Kids - This collection would include the same type of content, but for a younger audience. Example: How Stuff Works - I always liked taking things apart to see how they worked.  Videos like these may have you thinking about what you want to tear apart next. Example: Frontline - Here is another channel based on a PBS show. These provide amazing insight on many serious global issues.  (I always wanted to be able to talk like the narrator) Example: Khan Academy - Any topic at any level, this massive video library corresponds to lessons. It all started when a guy was just trying to help out his middle school niece with some math problems. Example:
