YouTube :)

YouTube, I believe, is one of the best and most widely accepted and enjoyed cite in the Web 2.0 world of technology. It encompasses videos from education, to break dancing, instructional, to absurd, funny, influential, creative, encouraging even inspiring. I have to admit, most of my favorites have nothing what-so-ever to do with the educational or instructional categories, not yet anyways. Some of my favorites (and half of California's too I'm sure) include; Charlie the Unicorn, laughing babies, Blood, Charlie bit Me, the Evolution of Dance, Cyril the Magician and Dormitory Boys. It is such a neat and interesting way to connect with someone you do not know in the least, simply by enjoying the same video, or sharing a personal experience with the world simply by posting your own video. I do see YouTube as having great potential and probably success in the realm of education, athletic training, and coaching. You never know what you are going to get when you type a search topic into YouTube. ("Fresno Pacific University" for example :)

I agree about youtube having a lot of potential in variety of ways. Most important education. I downloaded a freddie workout video on to my ipod from youtube and used it for a warm-up activty in my phyiscal education class. My kids loved it.
