YouTube is a fantastic resource for viewing and sharing original videos online. It's also one of the most popular destinations on the web today, so sharing your videos there opens it up to the possibility of an extremely wide audience.
The school has a channel setup to share various short original videos. It is also being used to serve up the videos featured on the recent What's Cooking that's currently airing on NBC40 as well as the web. We're working on some other pretty nifty ways of incorporating YouTube within our site leveraging their developer API's. So hopefully they'll see some light and go live soon.
Setting up your own channel for your own personal use is simple as well. Just sign up for an account then begin uploading videos. That's really all there is to it. You can customize the look of your channel, create playlists, embed videos into pages, and even work with their robust API if you really want to get advanced. Just be sure that what you're uploading isn't copyrighted and you should be fine.
