Thing 19: YouTube

Check out this YouTube video on Social Networking--Social Networking in Plain English!


Then here is another video, from the same people, that has another interesting informative video--this one slightly more humorous...Zombies in Plain English. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVnfyradCPY&feature=grec_index.

YouTube has user friendly search and browse tools, has a wide variety of category and topics, and has videos that fit many different needs. YouTube works for entertainment: funny clips and home clip (now everyone can be a star). But it also can be informative; you can look up how-to clips, or videos like the ones I posted (Topics in Plain English).YouTube is another way to share information, and like all other Web 2.0 tools, depending on the nature of that information, can be simply for entertainment or can be of educational value. Evaluation is needed before sharing any clips to check if they are appropriate, accurate, and follow copyright laws.
