Youtube+Channels

=Video Channels Which Support Learning= The increasing availability of 'learning videos' epitomises lifelong learning in the 21st Century. Anyone with an internet enabled device now has access to a wide range of video channels and we're not only consumers of information - we're creators ! If you want to learn how to play guitar,speak another language,apply makeup, build something, bake something, do something ... someone has probably unloaded a video explaining their understanding of how to do it... and some of these are excellent. However, be warned, anyone can now claim to be an expert and Youtubefaqs claims 10's of millions of personal channels now exist.

What is hugely exciting is that teachers and educational institutions have also recognised the importance of establishing open access to quality learning opportunities and many are establishing their own video collections. These channels feature presentations from some of the worlds best minds and educators, and are developing into a rich library of resources for our students. Some of the most exciting developments in this area come from TED Talks and the recently established "TED-ED" channel.
