3 Technologies...

Ok so I was finally able to decide on what technology to use for my social learner task. And the winner is YOUTUBE!!! 

But before I was able to choose a winner I had to look at three different technologies to see which one I thought was better for my situation of uploading videos to the internet to share to the greater dance community. 

The three technologies that I looked at for this task were Facebook, Google+ and YouTube. these technologies were all ones that were able to do the job that I needed them to do, but one did it better then the others. YouTube. 

When I first looked at Google+ I had no idea what it was and how to use it and after some discovering and messing around on the site I realised that it was almost the same as Facebook you were able to have friends that you could communicate with, you could upload photos and videos for your friends too see and you could also video call your friends. This was a good site but I realised that the video would only be seen by the people that you are friends with in the site so I decided that this wasn't a good choice for this task and moved onto my next technology, Facebook. 

Facebook is a technology that I understand and am use to using so it didn't take much exploring to discover what it could do. Facebook was much the same as Google+ with the added bonus of being able to share the videos so that more people that you are not friends with are able to watch. I thought that Facebook was going to be the technology that I was going to use but then I thought that the audience that I was targeting my not see the videos and if they didn't it would take them along time to view them. From this I decided to look at YouTube as I thought that videos on there are able to be viewed by the typing of key words. 

Ok so the last technology that I looked at was YouTube. YouTube allowed me to post videos online for anyone to see and could be searched by specific words. I thought this would be perfect for my situation as it would allow my videos to be seen by people that want to look at specific videos and are looking for something in particular. To post videos to YouTube all that needed to be done was for me to sign up and make and account once i had done that I had to create my channel and start posting videos. I was quite surprised t how easy it was for me to do this. Knowing that I'm not very techsavey.
