Thing #20

It seems like you can find just about anything on YouTube. From music videos, to pranks, to even how-to videos. The site has definitely came a long way from when it first started out. I mainly use YouTube to listen to music videos in my spare time. Some of the videos even have the lyrics onscreen so you can know the words as you sing. Call me a loser if you want, but sometimes you just have to know what a song is really saying and it will drive you up the wall until you figure it out. Or at least I come across that problem a time or two. You name it, you can probably find it on YouTube. I mean the site has it all, new celebrities are being found using this site everyday. My younger sister is in love with Justin Bieber, the latest teen heartthrob. He actually was recognized by his YouTube videos by his now manager. Usher even came across his videos and now produces some of his songs. YouTube has the advantage of being able to put out certain information for you to share with others. Who knows, you might become famous one day by uploading a video. As far as using YouTube as a tool in the classroom, you can find tons of how-to lessons to show your students if they seem to be having a problem with a certain topic.
