‘Educational’ Youtube Channels (Pt. 1)

I’ll be using this and my next post to share a (large-ish) list of educational* Youtube channels that I’ve come to enjoy watching over the last decade, or otherwise found interesting.

*Note: The actual educational value of these videos are disputable. I don’t think you should use most (if any) of these videos to teach students (nor should it replace you as a teacher), but I think they’re entertaining and have the potential to inspire curiosity in your students and encourage them to explore subject areas, regardless of the practicality of what is being presented.
