A popular blog, StartupReview, shared these recent statistics about YouTube:
 * Fastest growing website in Internet history
 * On average 100 million videos streamed per day
 * 65,000 new video clips are uploaded every day
 * More than 13 million unique visitors per month. An average user spends 30 minutes on YouTube and most uploaders are repeat visitors themselves.
 * 58% of Internet videos are watched on YouTube
 * 20% to 30% of traffic volume is from the US
 * Wide range of user demographics, however the largest segment of users is the 18 to 35 year-olds.
 * 30% to 40% of the content is copyrighted. There is a clear correlation between eyeballs and copyrighted content.

In this step, you will use a new Web2.0 tool called Embedr. ||
 * [|Walk Around]
 * tabs
 * login
 * search window
 * upload
 * screen with internal buttons
 * etc. ||
 * Create a playlist

Your task, this week, is three-fold:

 1. Find a minimum of five videos on YouTube that relate to your unit;  2. Create a ** playlist ** on Embedr;  3. Create a ** custom player ** for your playlist;  4. Embed the player with the five videos in your wiki.

 **DO NOT FAIL** to include a brief description of each video under the player, identifying the significance or value of watching the video for the student/parent/etc.

**HUGE HINT**: You MUST preview the playlist before you can save it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
