Thing 23: Exploring YouTube

What I didn't like about Youtube: videos stopped and started jerkily because of low bandwidth. Sometimes there was no sound, and I could not tell if that was bandwidth or bad editing. Poor tagging or labeling meant that searches pulled up lots of false hits.

What I liked: the actors were obviously having fun. There was great creativity and variety. I could find images from my childhood.

I am showcasing a Summer Reading Program promotional trailer obviously created by teens. I chose this because it is a project I would like to see our teens involved in. I liked that this was a simple video with the simple theme that the library could add color to your summer. It also made me want to go that particular library.
