YouTube is a phenomenon and gives anyone with access to a webcam/video camera the opportunity to have their 15 minutes of fame (probably at least 3 or 4 hits anyway). I am sure there are all sorts of educational opportunities around YouTube but what do you do if you want to show people (using video) how to do something. One way is obviously to stick your video on YouTube or similar sort of service or any website of your choice that lets you actually. However, there are sites that are setup specifically for this type of service. Ever wanted to know how to make an omelet? french braid hair? do pinch harmonics on a guitar? These are just some of the skills that people have decided to share with the world by contributing video how-tos to a site called www.viewdo.com. While this site is perhaps nowhere near as well known as YouTube, it is certainly looks like a great way to impart a bit of your knowledge to the world on a site that is dedicated to this. You can also make requests for clips demonstrating something you have always wanted to know how to do. I would be interested to hear of other similar sites or experiences on the value of them.

One Comment
just one from the US unis
One from the US PBS & friends http://www.omn.org
It’s a bit different as its built on peer to peer (grid) technology
I have counted around another forty over the years, but the problem is all the same. Now that there’s so much content, how is a poor boy supposed to work through it all, and find exactly what they want?
One Trackback/Pingback
[…] The second largest referring source is (again, no surprise) Google. However this is where things start to get interesting. The most popular search term from Google for this blog is ‘Youtube’. Given that I loosely comment on technology and its application in educational environments this is probably ok. However, the second most popular search term that people are finding their way to this blog is ‘how to braid hair’. Now one thing that this blog is not about is hairdressing however in one post I mentioned a site called viewdo which features community contributed videos on how to do things. In that article the words ‘french braid hair’ appears as an example of what you can see on viewdo. […]
