Although there are many things to love and hate about the site, Youtube is definitely a social networking staple. I can remember when the site first caught attention while I was in high school, and within a few months it grew so much in popularity and everyone I knew used it. Since then, the site has become a sensation worldwide and is used in homes, in the office, and even in schools. Bloggers have started "vlogging," or video blogging and online shows have been created through Youtube. Even music artists such as Justin Beiber have been discovered from their videos on the site. The amount of potential for Youtube is huge!
I could easily use some of the ideas and features of Youtube for my own library website. I think my favorite feature is the use of tags, or keywords, added to each video. So, when a user types a certain keyword into the search bar, every video with that tag will show up making it easier to sort through the results.
I decided to attach the video "April Fools: Math Class Shadow" by MDWeathers. I found this video a while ago, but I still love it because it shows that teachers have a fun and creative site to them. Plus, it displays great use of technology. Enjoy!
