Thing #20 Explore YouTube and Teacher Tube

As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I'm one that is concerned with trends. While we can't predict outcomes 100%, we can come reasonably close. Given this, many, such as myself, use them to envision the future. Envisioning is just making an effort to be prepared.

We ask questions about the future as well. Questions such as, What will the next generation video hosting websites, such as YouTube, look like? What will be thier key features? How will they be accessed? Can we expect multidimensional features?

YouTube is another new era way of sharing technology. In this case, videos that are not just entertaining but add to our knowledge base as well. I'm grateful that someone envisioned this application and brought it to fruition.

I have attached this YouTube video, Shift Happens, in hopes that you will find it encouraging. Given how fast things change, Shift Happens 2 has been created (2008) and can be found at YouTube.
