After making our own movie we then looked at YouTube which is an online medium that allows people to share and view videos. Anyone can view the videos but you have to be registered to upload them. Videos are censored so that only registered users over 18 years old can view things that would be seen as objectionable. Having a YouTube account allows you to personalize your viewing. Setting up favorites, queues of videos to watch, playlists and subscribing to channels are some examples of features that enable this. One thing that has led to the popularity of YouTube is that videos from YouTube can be attached to external websites. So bloggers, facebookers, Myspacers and web site creators have access to a wide range of video resources. These videos are not covered by copyright, which makes them a very useful resource to get quick information or entertainment.
To demonstrate this feature I have gathered together five different videos about Scottish Country Dancing from YouTube. I chose this topic because it is something that I really enjoy. Scottish Country Dancing is fun and energetic, there is a large social aspect and it is very good exercise.
Enjoy :)
Very nice overview of Youtube :)
ReplyDeleteI also like the look of Scottish dancing
Go you!
Thanks Rachael :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judith!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, and especially the Scottish country dancing videos. It looks like so much fun! You have some really interesting links to other OT Blogs, i especially like the one about language by hand! Your writting style is very funky and I love the easter feel with the chicks at the top of your page. If only I was this talented and new how to be this creative and do fancyness! Keep up the hard work.
Cheers Keryn
