Youtube:

1. What is this?
Youtube is a webpage where you can watch videos. If you don't have an account, you can watch videos but you can't upload, like, share, etc. You have to create an account so you can have more access to all the things Youtube offers. 
- Account: The first step is to create an account. You will need a username and fill in some information about you.
- Search for Videos: The second step is to search videos. You enter key words, the username, or the of the video in the search tab. Also, you can choose any category you wants and choose a video.

- Playlists: When you find a video that you like you can like it, add it to favorites, or add it to a playlist you created and it will be easier to find. You can create a as many playlists as you like and the good thing is that you can choose the privacy setting (public or private). Another great thing that Youtube has is the "Watch Later" playlist in which you can add videos that you didn't have time to watch. "History" playlist works too if you want to go back to video you already watched. 

- Share/Subscribe: If you like the video, you can also share it to Twitter, Facebook, and other social medias. You can also subscribe to the user that uploaded it and receive notifications of every new upload from this user.  

- Comment/Like and Dislike: You can also comment on the video and like it or dislike it.

- Upload Videos: You can upload your own videos or even record them directly from your phone or computer. In the privacy settings you can determine whether you want your video to be public or private. You can also put a title, a description, and tags to let people know what your video is about. 

- #Views/#Likes: You can see how many people viewed you video because underneath the video it says "# views". You can also see how many people like it and disliked it.

- Rent Movies: There is an option to rent movies. You have to purchase it and then you can watch it in your computer while you are connected to the internet.

- YouTube Mobile: There is an app that you can get for your smart phone and watch videos there. 

- Captions/Subtitles: You can select a setting in which you can watch the videos with subtitle of any language. 

- 3D: You can watch videos in 3D if you own a pair of 3D glasses.

- Recommended for you: Youtube recommends videos and channels to you depending on what you watch and to who you are subscribe to.  

2. What else can Google do for users?

Youtube can improve the time it takes for a video to charge. Also it can change the setting in which you cannot watch some videos if you are in a certain country. That bothers me a lot.  

3. How could this tools be useful to teachers and students?

This tool is useful for teacher because they can find videos as an example of what they are teaching so their students can understand the topic better. Students can use them for projects, and also to understand what the teachers taught them better if they didn't understand in the class.  

4. How does it relate to CNG?

Youtube works for CNG because it can help teachers explain their lessons in interesting videos. Also, it allows students to have a bigger source of information were they can find videos about the topics they learn in their classes and it can help them with their homework instead of having the only option of communicating with the teacher via email.
