 * NOTES ABOUT VIDEOS ON THE WEB:**
 * 1) You Tube is blocked through most schools' Internet filtering. Most schools allow teachers to request that educational sites be unblocked. Some schools will provide a temporary override to their Internet filter to teachers. Check with your district's IT Department for these procedures.
 * 2) Due to copyright laws, some videos get posted and then need to be removed from Web sites so some of these links may become broken in the future.
