Post # 4 Educational Youtube Videos

I believe that YouTube is an excellent source for educational, instructional and tutorial videos.  I understand that this process might take time for some.  Everyone has a comfort zone on how they like to be taught new things so one video might work for some but not others.  However, a plus about YouTube is that you eventually can find what you are looking for and you only had to look in one place rather than several more places.  Also, this way of learning is fast and convenient.  If someone needed knowledge on a specific subject fast the Internet is already top 3 places to find information.  I do not see why YouTube educational videos would make this less true.  However, I also feel that the video has to be a form of entertainment as well.  There is more motivation to get up from your personal computer and not continue with gaining knowledge if the video is boring versus being in a boring class room and you can't (or you paid to much for the class) to leave.  For example, this video that I think is not so entertaining, yet, it's educational as well.
