Over the past few years, video hosting sites have exploded in popularity, allowing users to easily upload and share videos on the web. Among all of the players in this area, YouTube is currently top dog. YouTube users are watching hundreds of millions of videos a day, and uploading hundreds of thousands of videos daily. It was recently announced that every minute, 20 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube.
Do some searching around YouTube yourself and see what the site has to offer. Of course, like any free site you'll find a lot of stuff not worth watching, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't explore and see for yourself what is available!
Discovery Exercise:
1. Explore YouTube and find a video worth adding as an entry in your blog.
2. Create a blog post about your experience. What did you like or dislike about the YouTube site, and why did you select the video that you chose? Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting in teaching and learning?
OPTIONAL: Try adding the video to your blog using the embed code provided on the YouTube page. If you're not sure how to do that, then watch this video below that I have embedded for you!
