Many people don’t think of YouTube as a great place for learning. What with the sneezing pandas, dancing ninjas, and the off-key singers — it’s got somewhat of a rep as a place you should try to keep your kids away from. (Us grown-ups, on the other hand, can watch that little bear over and over with no real damage.)
But if you’d like to explain what caused the mortgage crisis to a bunch of high-schoolers, this ten minute video is a stunning example of using current viral video techniques to communicate. The sheer amount of information and references included would have taken most of a day in Mrs. Summers’ eighth grade social studies class. And I’d have been snoozing.
(Disclaimer: Yes, this is being told from a specific point-of-view to support a political candidate. Get over it. I’m using the example as one of learning and communication.)
So take a look, and tell me what you could do with ten minutes like this for your sales force — or your lathe operators — or your phone bank operators. Wheeeeeeee!
