With the increasing use of technology in classrooms, it’s no wonder that teachers have a growing interest in using YouTube and other online media sharing sites to bring information into their classrooms. Here are 100 YouTube videos that can provide supplementary information for the class, give inspiration, help you keep control of class and even provide a few laughs here and there.

Welcome! We hope you'll find The Democracy Project site to be a useful, fun addition to your classroom during the election year and beyond. The activities and lesson plans you see on the site have been designed with the following goals in mind:
* introducing the structure and duties of local, state and federal government;
* understanding how government affects our everyday lives, through laws, institutions and services provided in the community;
* identifying the duties of the U.S. president and thinking critically about the skills necessary to be a good president;
* understanding the history of voting rights in America, and articulating how voting and other forms of civic involvement are essential to a healthy democracy.
The online activities are designed for students in grades three to six, with accompanying lesson plans for language arts (LA), social studies (SS), and math (M) teachers. Below you will find more information about the educational goals for each online activity; lesson plans for each activity; curriculum standards related to this content; and the teachers who wrote the lesson plans.
