Week Eight: Online video

Oh, how to choose a video to embed!  There are over 36 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute - there must be a better way of catching up with the latest popular videos...



YouTube is a great way to spread information, contact customers and entertain. There are certainly ways that the libraries can use online video.



Personally I love YouTube for the 15 minutes it buys me to complete a task uninterrupted by my little ones - I have set up play lists with all of their favourite clips, including Justine Clarke and the Muppets, and this lovely song which never fails to indicate the start of nap/rest time.

  1. What a great idea. It made me go all sleepy and relaxed as well. I might put it on for myself when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep.

  2. This is something I would never have thought of doing - but it would be useful to try with my children as well. I liked the lullaby and my girls also like Justine Clarke.

  4. It is great for entertaining the little ones isn't it? I use it when I'm babysitting.
