Well, YouTube is blocked in our district! Problem!! Here's a couple of ways around that. 1. Show it from your computer. It isn't blocked for teachers. 2. Download the video. Then you'll be able to show it independently of the Internet. You can insert it into a flipchart or Keynote or just show it by itself.
