You Tube

OMG - this is an amazing tool, huge potential and the more time I spent looking around the site the more intrigued I became. I actually found my son's youtube account and subscribed to it! He has posted 5 videos of bmx stunts and tricks and one on how to drink beer quickly using a gravity assisted device.

As a learning / teaching tool there are a huge number of videos to support delivery especially if using technology comes into play.

I found the subject headings didnt help me find clips, it appears that videos can be tagged but I'm unsure how to search using them (no cloud?). The search box is good and once you've come across something youtube gathers similar content together making it easy to choose.

I have spent toooooo much time playing with youtube, I wanted to load my avatar icon as my login pic. Unfortunately youtube won and I failed to change it... I had to download a video first and capture this - then make a change - very confusing!!! As I dont have a video to upload I was going around in circles.

Let me know if you had more success than me! I'll be chatting youtube stuff (and beer consumption) with my son in the future as he has obviously got his head aroung it!
