love YouTube! At first I thought it was for kids and entertainment but it really is a fantastic learning tool. In fact, YouTube is the second largest search engine after Google (which happens to own YouTube!) Further, it can be particularly helpful for visual learners who would rather watch a demonstration than read a set of instructions.
I will definitely continue to use it!
As a matter of fact, it has already come in handy with respect to the Betty Blogger program. In trying to understand what Web 2.0 means, I found the following streamed video helpful.
And this is the video that Library Lady showed us at the Welcome Party to give us some perspective on the growth and importance of social networking.
Hi Melissa, thanks for your feedback on my blog. I love the background water colour look you've added to your blog...plus the owls. I'm thinking of going on an "owl prowl" in the fall because I'd love to see a "live" one in action.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with streaming at home, so I'm at the library now. I still can't seem to post my YouTub link properly. Might have to drop by again tonight.
Have a great week-end!
Carol
Hi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for holding my hand last night as I explored the Mac and Firefox world!!!
RE: gadget for if you liked this you might like this - pics at end of blog post. The Library Lady and I found that if you click on Linkwithin that appears to the bottom right of the last pic it'll take you to the site where you can download (?) it on to your blog. It's not a Blogger app.
Just played the video The Machine is Us/ing Us - I really, really enjoyed it. Thanks for finding and posting this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments and tips, Nance. My kids couldn't believe it last night when I told them that I helped someone figure out how to do something on a Mac! It was a pleasure working together with you on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog, I appreciated it. Also thanks for posting (streaming) the social networking clip. When I first saw it at our get together in the library, I missed a lot of info, now I can watch it again and again and I can impress my husband with some of the facts on social networking
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog...loving the colours! Glad you added the You tube video from the welcome party, so that I missed the party! I will have to try to make a meeting, it would be great to meet everyone.
You have a great possitive view, thanks for the great comments on my blog...we are all trying so hard and it really feels great to just know that someone has actually read what we have done.
