    Productivity and YouTube don't always make a great pairing, but Google's giving iPad owners a chance to make it work. The latest version of YouTube for iOS includes support for Slide Over and Split View -- two of iOS 9's tablet-specific features. The former lets you jump into other apps temporarily, while the latter -- as the name suggests -- lets you run two side by side. Of course, the benefit of these features is all in how you use them. If you're planning on watching an Instructables video at the same time as making notes, productivity goes up. If, however, you're really just watching FailArmy while trying to rush your homework, there's no helping you.
