Homework Week 2: YouTube

This week Steffano set us the task of viewing three topics to learn about using YouTube videos, here are the three topics I chose.

I searched how to make a fishtail braid because my mam has really long hair down to her waist and likes me to experiment with it sometimes. I chose to watch this video by Beautyklove dated 16/03/12, because the girl has similar length hair to my mam. To start off, the video is a little annoying because there's a lot of background noise and its a little slow getting to the actual tutorial.Once she got going it was easy to follow, clear how to to do a fish tail braid but a little to repetitive verbally.




The second video I watched was 'why do onions make you cry' by Intrgueology dated 9/02/13. I chose this video because cartoons look more appealing than watching someone talk whilst cutting an onion! I liked it's simplicity and humour, it was straight to the point with no distractions. I can't really find fault with this video other than maybe it went a little to quick between slides but I now know the answer to my question and know how to avoid crying when chopping an onion so I'm happy!




Finally the third video I watched was Microsoft Excel Tutorial for Beginners by Motion Training uploaded on 15/04/08. I find people either love or hate excel. My partner raves about it and thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread, basically because it does everything for you which means less work for him! Others say its boring and you might think of all the subjects in the world why would I chose to learn about this but I'm glad I did. After watching this easy tutorial, I've realised anyone can use excel for anything, even to calculate how much you spend on clothes every month! Although I probably won't do that or I'll be divorced before I'm married! Really like this video, very easy to follow and listen to as it's very informal.
