YouTube Adventure


This week I explored some of the many, or I should say hundreds if not thousands of videos there are on YouTube that can teach you all about Twitter, Twitter Tools, Wiki's and Wikispaces, and the many videos (a lot of them made by people like myself and my classmates) on what Web 2.0 is and tools to use in educational settings.  I have used YouTube for quite a while and have already setup channels on different things I was interested in (Travel, Music, Technology and others).  I had never explored (before this course) how to use Twitter and the many tools for Twitter.  I also was not aware of Wikispaces (although I have used Wikipedia for several years). Although the existence of these videos should not surprise me.  Over the years, I have found a YouTube videos for just about anything I was interested in.  And I mean anything.  I have used YouTube for instructions on everything from how to install a hot water heater in my home, to how to program my Wi-Fi connected home HVAC system.  But now that I have researched and found these new videos, I will be using them to increase my knowledge of Web 2.0 and it plethora of tools and information.  BTW (By the Way), if and when I get to teach, it will probably be technology in the home.
