Welcome

Hi Everyone,

This blog may have been created for a class but I hope to use it as a way of organizing information not only for others but for myself as well.

A little bit about me:
I'm a 27 year old Elementary Library Media Specialist teaching classes at 2 schools with a total of over 600 students. After school I tutor fellow teachers on how to use and integrate various technologies into their lesson plans. On Saturdays I work at a shoe store that I have happily been a part of for over 8 years.
Since I work 6 days a week it is difficult to fit hobbies into my extra time. But I guess if working out and nutrition is considered a hobby then it would be mine. I weightlift twice a week and do some form of cardio five days a week. In the past year I have lost over 40 pounds and have become a firm believer that with diet, exercise, and determination that anyone can live a healthier lifestyle. So that is enough about me.

Ready, Set, and Let the Blogging Begin,

Laurel Wing

YouTube

YouTube

YouTube is really an interesting site and some of the videos could actually be useful.  I like how different users are like the different channels on the TV.  With so many videos on the site I can see how tagging the videos and enabling them to be searchable is a key component.  I also liked how people could comment on the videos and some people gave hints about interesting or funny things at a certain time stamp within the clip.  The phrase, "Did you see that video on (insert video title/topic here) on YouTube?"  is something that I hear all of the time.  But I guess that I do not use the site as much as other people do.  Every once in a while I watch an interesting video while looking at a news feed.  But generally I don't have the time to look at much of the content on YouTube.  Due to this the feature on YouTube that would be the most useful to me would be the browse tab which shows some of the most popular or new videos within a particular genre.
