youtube



It’s amazing how you can go on YouTube and you type in anything and learn from it. My aunt went on there to learn how to do an invisible part with hair weave and I can honestly say that it looks like she went to the hair salon to get it done. It’s a great way to learn different things such as learning how to speak a different language, and a variety of skills and build knowledge by seeking out videos related to your interests. Multiple videos with step-by-step instructions for almost any hobby or pursuit can be easily found.  Want to build a skateboard? Tie a slip knot? Have a lemonade stand? It's all here. School-related advice and help is also available. Need to compute pi? Conjugate verbs Italian?  It's here, too. YouTube also has tools for media creation so kids can explore video editing with their own uploaded videos. When used for informational purposes, the amount of information that can be found is astounding. Sometimes children can pick up on things easily so you might want to keep an eye on your children while they are on the social media sites. They’ll learn words or phrases at school and go type it in and your child is saying these words. An annomous user posted “Have fun, but be careful! I love YouTube, but there is a lot of swearing, violence, and bullying. For example, YouTube Poops are very popular, but contain a lot of foul language, bad behavior, and sexual references. YouTube Poops are not meant to be watched by children under 13.”
