I was reading about a theory and said out loud "I wonder about this person, I wish that I could hear her discuss this topic". She said what's her name I told her... she went to youtube and emailed me the link! I was so excited, so taken aback that actually I heard it right from the horses mouth! Not to mention that Isoo Kim Berg had died in 2007 and someone caught the moment on video and it was free too! Infact, she shed more light on what the author of my text was trying to teach about HER perspective! Maybe if children and other students alike are very careful this newness can be incorporated as well as an advantage. Take it from a woman that had a hard time dealing with and still afraid of microwaves and,both cordless and cell phones lol. I am currently a 40 year old mom and non-traditional student.

Why a youtube video by a professor in California might be more reliable than a random student in their bedroom discussing something.
