Learning Through YouTube
By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, March 25, 2009.
Maybe you’ve been wondering how to write a fugue? Do the moonwalk? Water an orchid? Yodel? Who says YouTube is rotting our brains? For those looking for something more than drunk squirrels or allegedly hilarious bloopers, there is a growing group of how-to and educational videos on YouTube and other video sites. My boyfriend brushed up on tying a tie, I found out how to keep an orchid alive, and my colleague Avishay Artsy learned to drive a stick. Who’s making these things, and why do they work?
