Week 9 #20 you tube

Since anyone can put videos on these public sites like YouTube, there will always be some trash to be found, but there are so many good videos out there. I found one showing the flowers and how they bloom, the different colours and species of flowers. It is so nice to see something like this. This reminded me that a site like YouTube can be used to promote ideas, to share fun videos, to educate (I saw one video on how to use a library's catalog), and these videos are accessible to everyone. This would be a good place for teachers to at least explore to find short videos on topics they are covering. Certainly there are some opportunities here for libraries such as creating videos for training, for connecting with other libraries both within and out of the county. Imagine creating a video showing various library services and telling schools, media specialists, etc. the URL, or putting that URL on our webpage!
