You Tube and me

Monday night was very interesting and it wasn't so much the content, but more so on how the content was presented. Levi does an excellent job discussing Groupthink, but when a video was presented further illustrating groupthink, I was able to grasp the concept.

This made me think about you tube for a minute. My wife and I use the sight as a form of entertainment. We look for funny videos and even videos to entertain the children. But, it occurred to me that you tube can also be used as a teaching tool.

Adult learning (I suppose learning in general) has come along way. It was mentioned that training videos can cost an organization upwards of $1,000. But with you tube an instructor can search content that he or she believe would suppliment a class room instructional period saving time and money. With you tube you can use what is available, not worrying about taking too much time with a long drawn out video.

I am glad I saw an alternative use of you tube. Be assured our group will use you tube in our next presentation.
