YouTube Adventure

Wow! What an engaging and challenging week this has been to set up a YouTube channel and begin creating playlists.  YouTube is a very expansive tool.  I found several videos on each of the topics: Twitter, Wikispaces, and Web 2.0 tools.  I like that the videos can be organized into playlists and shared.  YouTube allows you to create your own video using a webcam.  Once videos are uploaded you can add various tags to allow for others to search keywords to find the video content.  I am still exploring how to use all of the functionality of YouTube.  I like that the search feature is very easy to use.  The desired content word is typed into the search box and several videos are displayed.  It takes a little time to review each video, but there are a number of resources available, right at your fingertips. 

What I'm finding out, especially after this week of Web 2.0 tool explorations, it that it can become very time-consuming to engage with all that is available.  I do enjoy the variety of tools and their functionality that inspires and motivates the students to want to learn and demonstrate their knowledge of content through these various tools.
