"Today we're going to teach you...!" 

One of the main reasons YouTube is so popular is its collection of Do-It-Yourself videos.  Millions of videos are produced every year with the intent to help others learn new skills in a variety of subjects.  On the other end, "YouTube teachers" must be organized, informed, and enthusiastic with their subject in order to gain interest and viewers. 

With that in mind, YouTube Live asks students to deliver a workshop to the class to teach new skills and explore learning in a variety of subjects.

Tip #3 - Timing is (Almost) Everything
