Our exploration through the secrets of the Web goes on...The latest creature we descried is...Youtube!
Fortunately, this time wasn't the first time I found myself in touch with this character of the endless moors of the Internet, so I wasn't panic-stricken as usual.
http://www.youtube.com/ is one of the sites I proposed in our first E-tivity and as I wrote in that context, I think it can be very useful since everybody in the world can share videos and watch what others have decided to show. In this way we all can can watch and re-watch something we're interested in or find something nice just for fun. In addition, we can improve our listening skills and our knowledge of other cultures by using this tool, so it can be useful for languages students like us! On the contrary, I've never heard talking about TeacherTube...I just visited it and it's fantastic!
Obviously, there's also the other side of the coin...In Youtube everybody can find a lot of interesting things, but we all risk to meet something vulgar, offensive or simply stupid. A friend of mine showed me a video in which a person explained how to create a virus for computers...(there's no need to comment, I think...). Unfortunately, some people don't use Youtube properly so, as I said in my first post " Youtube is an opportunity in proportion to the intelligence of its users"...(I don't know if I'm quoting in the right way, but there's no problem, in my opinion: I'm not going to report myself) :)
Here there're the videos I chose:
I'm not a doctor but I WANNA work in a place like this...
and this is me last year...ha ha, I'm joking, but I'm really following an ice skating course (maybe with a bit less elegance...)
