Thing 20: YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXC4OiExico

I've certainly heard of YouTube before, but haven't really used it. I found some interesting and many time relevant stuff. In particular I found a short video about how to write and publish a children's book. I picked this video because I wondered if there was anything on there even halfway relevant to children's librarians and I thought that video was interesting. My only complaint about the site was that I didn't find a way to refine or advance your search, so I ended up going through a lot of irrelevant stuff. There is also a site called TeacherTube, that I'm pretty sure is run by the same company, but it has more educationally relevant stuff. That's also a good site to try.
