Lesson 5: YouTube
One of the hallmarks of Web 2.0 is creation and sharing - - especially when it comes to multimedia.
For example, an incredibly popular site for finding and sharing videos is YouTube.
You may already know that Steve Chen, cofounder of YouTube, attended nearby Hersey High School.
You can find it all on YouTube - - from guitar lessons to CNN-hosted political debates.
If you’ve ever watched one of Arlington Heights Memorial Library’s vlogs, you’ve used YouTube (perhaps even without realizing it).
Your assignment:
Create a free YouTube account
Search for and find 3 videos on your topic of interest.
Tag your videos.
(Optional) Extra credit: Those of you with the appropriate technology can create a video clip explaining three things you like about the Arlington Heights Memorial Library. You can share your link to your video in the “Comments” area.

Whenever I go to youtube on one of the work computers it never lets me view the videos and says that I need to upload a flash 9 player.

Bethann,
Have you tried downloading the Flash player in your work environment?
Here’s a link to the Flash site:

Also, have you used YouTube @ home or elsewhere with success?
