YouTube Video Experience


I must confess I was a little nervous and self conscious about appearing in my first YouTube video.  The experience made me realise that it was quite easy and I was surprised how relaxed I was. Both Daniela and I found it very amusing seeing ourselves on the finished video. 

Uploading the video onto YouTube was easier than I expected and the end result was very rewarding.


Thanks Daniela for being my partner in this experience, we had lots of laughs and made some mistakes but we learned something new, to share and use for the future.

Here is my YouTube video on How to use a photocopier.

Video - World's Most Beautiful Libraries

This video shows inspirational photos of libraries around the world, showing the biggest and most beautiful libraries. I feel that it is interesting for the world to know what wonderful environments that exist around the world in which to house books.
   
               

TeacherTube and YouTube Experience

When looking at choosing a preferred video, I found it easier to manoeuvre around YouTube than TeacherTube. YouTube has many different videos to choose from. More people are familiar with YouTube and will most likely upload videos there.  I'd have to admit that YouTube is one of my most used resources and I think that it  has a much broader variation of videos and subjects than TeacherTube does.

I had never heard of TeacherTube until this project however, after researching TeacherTube I found that it has a more specified group of videos which are geared towards lesson plans and instructional videos.  TeacherTube is helpful for teachers and education, It is a safe alternative to the benefits of YouTube Videos, which are great for enhancing lessons and deepening students' understanding of concepts, skills, or historical events. In contrast, TeacherTube is full of trusted material posted by other professionals.

I chose the
Worlds Most Beautiful Libraries video because I found it so amazing and wanted to share with others in viewing some of the most beautiful architectural libraries there are around the globe. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this video, it actually brought tears to my eyes in seeing such beautiful libraries in such wonderful architectural buildings. It is nice to see books preserved for all to enjoy, research, explore and investigate.
