YouTube Adventure

 I have been a fan of YouTube for a long time. I am trying to remember how I was introduced to YouTube or even what type of videos I started out watching, I think it was music videos. However, I know the videos I watch now are not the same as they were back then. I have only been active on the creating side for a year. Now, when I say creating please do not go to my channel thinking you will find the page of a professional YouTube Creator. I am not that. I have only uploaded videos that I have made for my Masters program. I said all that to say. When I was asked to make a playlist for my channel, I knew that was a thing because I had seen it on YouTube before. On the other hand, I have never done it. It was easier than I thought it would be. The hard part was finding videos that could be put into each playlist. A lot of the videos I found were 10 plus years old. For example, finding videos for using Web 2.0 tools for learning was easier than finding videos for Web 2.0 tech for Special Education. After completing this adventure I can say that I enjoyed learning how to add videos to a playlist. I can also say I still strongly dislike recording myself. So, professional Youtuber is not going on my resume anytime soon.

The skill that I am looking forward to learning is crocheting. That must be a skill that a lot of people want to learn because I did not have trouble finding videos. Plenty of them were for beginners and they are step-by-step instructions. I have used YouTube to learn a skill before. I think it is a great way to visually learn something new. You can go at your own pace.
