YouTube and Its Many Uses

image

YouTube can be great for killing time or for taking a study break, but it has a lot of other uses and applications.

YouTube EDU
I know, I know… you study and “learn” enough as it is, but it is pretty awesome that you can essentially take classes from any of the Universities that participate in YouTube EDU. YouTube EDU houses videos and channels from their college and university partners.

For instance, you can take a programming methodology course from Stanford here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=84A56BC7F4A1F852

Watch some TV shows:

Watch some movies:

Download and Save HD videos from YouTube
http://www.keephd.com/
and http://kickyoutube.com/

You can even download the audio

Learn a new skill/trade/how-to
Just go to YouTube and search “How to (Insert anything you want to learn to do)”
They have everything. Here are a few cool places to start:

How to play piano: http://www.youtube.com/user/piano9899
How to knit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uw-nUvGrBY
PhotoShop Tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/user/IceflowStudios

Learn about a product before you buy
Search in YouTube for the product/service

So next time you take that hard earned study break, check out some of the other cool stuff YouTube has to offer other than “Charlie Bit My Finger” or “Scarlett Takes a Tumble” (Both are funny in my opinion).
