YOUTUBE MAKERS!

From the comments of Jillian and Steve, I am also wondering about all these video makers! Well, I found one, by accident, a 19 year old kid (he started posting his youtube videos in 2006) who has 1.7 MILLION subscribers to his channel and his videos have atleast 2 Million views each! Its amazing how many people follow the videos of this kid. I dont know if he is making money out of it---I think he does because of all the advertisements plastered on his youtube.....but it is crazy! His videos are home made and really simple with a weird comedy twist in it. Please take out the time and watch atleast 2 of his videos (if you have watched the Twilight movie -- the first movie--his take on it is hilarious...I must admit! and it has 10 MILLION views twilight). VIDEO CHANNEL .

I guess this is an example of kids using the new technologies to the fullest. If only kids would be this interested in their studies!

    Hi Ms. Jing.

    So I guess everyone with an imagination, a video camera can be famous and make money out of youtube. There are a lot of positive and negative things that can happen to this.....

    Wow, I took the time to watch some of his videos and laughed out loud! This kid is really funny. I think you nailed it when you said, "if only kids would be this interested in their studies." In one of my observation classes, the students read "The Crucible" and became obsessed with the main character John Procter. They would tell jokes about this character non-stop and I'm wondering if a more effective final project might have included a satire type video about these characters instead of an essay, or in conjunction. Lots to think about! Thanks for sharing these funny videos!

    Thanks for sharing the funny videos! My first impression of these videos is that they are funny but meaningless. However, when I think further I found that this kid should be appriciated, because he has a thing that he really interested in and would like to devote a lot of his time and energy doing it, also, he did a good job. I think that one of the most important things in education is not how well the students study, but whether they find out what they are truly interest in that they want to devote themselve to in future.
