Blogging is best described by the creative video author Lee Lefever. He creates special Handcrafted videos on the website Common Craft, which has a huge video library explaining many different concepts out there in the world-- not just technology related! A lot of his videos are explained in Plain English! Want to know more about blogging? About wikis? About podcasting? About zombies? He's got them all in creatively crafted videos! You can view the videos on his website or by using You Tube.
You Tube is a great resource of information except for all of the advertisements. But... there's a way to fix that! The website View Pure allows users to strip away the extraneous information-- like advertisements-- on YouTube to view only the video. It's an AMAZING resource for teachers! Here's a link to Lee Lefever's Blogs in Plain English video using the website View Pure to strip away the advertisements. What do you think of the website View Pure?
I just checked out View Pure. I had written it down in class, but hadn't visited it yet. You putting a link right there made it easier to just go there. I did a YouTube search for my Tribute to Kumie, and I liked not having the ads, although I kind of like how YouTube has the number of views and the comments below. If I am just visiting someone else's video, I probably wouldn't care about those things, but with my own, I am curious. The Google Ads came up at first but I was able to click on it to minimize it.
