You Tube is the Biology Teacher's Best Friend!

Recently, my student teacher impressed me with some little videos that he incorporated into a Powerpoint presentation. I use PP also with little videos that we watch online - Virtual Cell Animation Collection being a real favourite of mine (watch the lac operon video - excellent!).This got me to thinking and surfing You Tube and I was amazed at the plethora of videos that are out there! BIO-RAD has a few videos, one of which is a spoof of "We are the World" but it's about PCR. It's so over the top and funny!Beyond that, there are so many that are really good with excellent graphics and interesting music. There is no way that I could reproduce any of it in 2 dimensions.
