Things # 12 and 13 : Discovering and Using Youtube

I'm not a great fan of YouTube, since streaming video from YouTube is very slow. What I did usually I will download the video first then watch it once downloaded, so hassle free and no disturbance due to slow connection. But again, download hundreds of megabytes of video is such a painful effort with slow internet connection.

I know that YouTube store a very wide variants of videos, and I once used YouTube to post video for promoting learning science through fun experiments. But, at the end there were some complaints from parents about content safety issues for children, since we know that YouTube also store videos that are inappropriate for children.

Here is a sample of video that i like, about Andromeda Galaxy.

OK, now I'm trying to upload my first video on YouTube. First of all, if you have Goggle account, then you don't need to register anything, just sign up using your Google account, if not, then start to sign up and then sign in to upload your first video. 

I took this video when I visited Niagara Falls last year. The fireworks show was about 5 minutes in total, it was awesome. Enjoy the video!

Well, this is for the first time I hear about TeacherTube and SchoolTube. Those two sites will be very useful for either teachers or students to share their resources on the internet. Sometimes, by sharing ideas on the internet will force us as the person who sharing to be more creative and original in our ideas, especially when we get feedback from people which motivate us to become more and more creative.

I haven't tried to upload anything in TeacherTube, but I will try that feature later.
