This is a fantastic list and it comes in so handy especially when there are system and school administrators (and sometimes even governments) who try to block some of the better known websites.
Teacher Tube has just launched a toolbar (http://www.teachertube.ourtoolbar.com). I have started using it on one of my computers. Has anyone else tried it? Opinions?
Thanks Ozge for the great post.
