Is YouTube educational? That is a very controversial question. Many people think that YouTube has a lot of strange videos and other people, such as teachers, can find it educational. Personally, I think YouTube can be something to gain knowledge from. You can learn all kinds of things ranging from basic things like cooking all the way to how to ride your bike while juggling at the same time. YouTube is like TV on the web. Just as you can learn things from TV shows like the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet, education can also be found on YouTube. The videos don’t exactly have school type learning characteristics, but there are a lot of different ways to learn. I think that YouTube gives a person a lot of independent power to learn at their own pace. They can see things over and over again if they don’t understand something or go to a section they want to learn. Right now, schools would tell us that we need at least fifty minutes to an hour to learn a concept. In reality you might only need ten to fifteen minutes. Videos are made for people who can learn things fast and don’t think they should sit through an hour lecture just to fill one gap in knowledge.
