Viral Videos and Virtual Learning
Dec 30th, 2007
I admit it: I spend far too much time browsing through silly videos on YouTube. Luckily, my habit doesn't have to waste time. Susan Smith Nash recently published a video blog that shows how viral videos can be used in e-learning. Here's a blurb from her accompanying post:
"You're probably familiar with some of the most widely disseminated viral videos – chris crocker, Diet Coke and Mentos, Apartment Guy, … all » "Don't Taze Me!" – the list goes on and on. Viral videos become a part of the social "conversation" and as such, they interplay with current events, news, and the types of mythos that make it into the collective unconscious…E-learning that incorporates the file sharing, networking, and communication of Web 2.0 can use viral videos to great advantage. This video, guided by Susan Smith Nash, explores some ways to accomplish this."
