http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube: Founders of YouTube from left to right: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim
These are the three guys that founded YouTube ... In 2005, they couldn't get a video from a dinner party to upload or find a copy Janet Jackson's "garment malfunction" online.... YouTube was originally going to be an online dating site Quite interesting ... today it is owned by Google and is the third most visited site on the internet!
Using YouTube is a fabulous way to share information, build students' background knowledge, and open up doors to places and activities that some would never get to experience without the use of the internet.
My son recently turned in his homework for his science class ~ YES, Mrs. Helbert is his teacher!!!

Who would of thought Janet's wardrobe manfunction would lead to such a great resource. I love it and use it daily! I think it makes kids feel so special when they upload a doc :) Great work Joey!!
