It is worth following the School District of Palm Beach's policy on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Google products (Gmail, Google Docs, G-chat, etc.) as this affects you constantly.

There are a lot of sites and free programs online that can help you animate, make films out of still photos, etc. such as Xtranormal, GoAnimate, places such as Second Life that are really their own category, and available (I think) on the Macs in the media center, more advanced tools e.g. Adobe's Flash Platform (Flash, AIR, Flex, Flash Builder)

And very useful for making any video: A Script. Here's a nice site with tons of scripts and screenplays: @http://www.simplyscripts.com/index.html
