Youtube and the Classroom

After searching through the available Youtube videos available I found the most interesting and useful items for the classroom where the famous speeches.

Ronald Reagan: Tear down this wall Speech
This could be used when teaching about the Cold War, Communism, and the Berlin Wall. The speech would give students a chance to hear the famous speech first hand.
