Thing 18: You Tube & other Online Video

Video is a great way to capture people's attention, whether it is on a blog, website, or in a classroom on a smartboard. While hours upon hours can fly by when browsing videos online, if you are specific about what you want, it is relatively easy to find a video that is pertinent. I chose this video because it addressed the needs of low income children and an innovative solution. The power of books cannot be underscored enough, and the message needs to get out to the general public. I can see adding videos to a school or classroom website for entertainment and education. Plus it is extremely easy to use.
