Checked YOUTUBE.
Found very, very few items of SUBSTANCE or value.
Found mainly very brief CLIPS , not full length videos.
Struck constant technical problems esp. "buffering", but learned patience, and second attempts could overcome some problems.
Checked SCIENCE HACK.
Again - very brief clips.
Sought info. on "tangents"- nix.
Tried "phosgene"-nix.
Instead was offered "alternatives" on unrelated subjects , plus ads and ads and ads!
Obtained more positive results on "How it is made" series.-some limited value here.
Tried TEACHER TUBE.
Yet again, a few very short "clips", "grabs", but next to nothing of substance.
Some items on history and politics very opinionated, simplistic, and even misguiding.
Plenty of stupid comments tagged on everywhere.
The chances of finding what you are actually seeking are miniscule. (how well even Wikipedia compares with Teacher Tube!)
Pity the young generation if the "tubes" above constitute education today.
Tried emailing a couple of items to myself from the Ref, desk terminal. They arrived , but would not open and play.
Technical problems dominated this exercise.
Cannot see any value for SLV ,or its users from this Video sharing application.
P.S. Succeeded in embedding video clip "Prairie Chicken Dance" into my blog!(see below)
Takes some time to load, but it works!
The most intelligent clip I could find on the Teacher Tube .
It saved my day!
