Watch one of my subscribed YouTube channels, "TechQuickie." Reflect upon what you learned in the video. Be sure to give the name of the video in your post and make sure the video is school appropriate! In addition, how do educational channels like this favor a website like YouTube where there is a lot of nonsense videos? How could you defend YouTube to stay unblocked if the principal where to question on visiting the site?
