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.
