Week 9 Thing 20 You Tube

You Tube offers some very creative video clips but you have to search through a lot of other "stuff" to find the gems. I found it fairly easy to embed a video, you just have to join You Tube and that's free. Once you find a video you want to place on your blog, choose post video and You Tube uploads the video to your blog. If you want to attach any comments, you'll need to type that in the space provided before you upload the video. Teacher Tube, for the purposes of finding something designed for education or by educators, offers a little more. I didn't have to search as long to find inspirational clips. I can see how You Tube will be useful for library web pages or blogs. You just have to spend some time searching to find something that will work. Reading other librarian's blogs or participating in a library social network where others share a good find would definitely be helpful and useful when it comes to You Tube.
