If you like Christopher Walken, you may enjoy his reading of The Three Little Pigs or for a dramatic reading, The Raven. A little comedy taken from You Tube:
It's easy to see why You Tube gets the attention that it gets! It is a very entertaining site. Until reading this assignment, I didn't think of it in terms as being used as an educational or informative tool because that wasn't the motivation for the videos that my teens have shown me. I did, however, look to see if there were any non-comedy education videos and found some. This would be an interesting application to our website or perhaps a feature on our Opacs explaining or walking patrons through high-interest library or computer features. Probably the only downside to You Tube, for me, is it is such a fun,easy to use, interesting site that it attracts a wide audience. Some of the teaser clips or "now being viewed" clips looked like an easy place for a young kid to get some info. that a parent might not like them viewing. As always, parents need to monitor what their kids are doing on the computer but that doesn't seem to happen in many circumstances.
