reflecting todays experience
Today were put in partners and were asked to discuss our paper. The teacher Ms. Crawford required us to make a timeline describing every part of our vlog, she made us do like an organizer for our ideas and put them together from the smallest detail to the main point of this whole essay. The method she used was a very interesting one and enlightenment to the whereabouts of how to start of the essay, it provided tips and tools to better detail our written report. We used every kind of detail that was given in the video to make clear everything that surrounds the subject on the vlog. Everything from what he wears to the sound in his place and especially how he sounded in his video, what he wore and the issue he was talking about. The technique the teacher showed helped me a lot organizing my thoughts onto my essay and my partner’s help were very handy in fact I helped with her paper that she needed too. Her advice was just as good as mine that we need to add more details and make the story more comprehensible without losing touch of the main topic; we basically just took our ideas to another direction in writing and not to bore with uninteresting ideas to make it seem interesting in the subject we are about to write. The knowledge that was given to us was a very helpful piece and I will be forward to using this method in my paper in hopes to create a better essay to a better grade in my course in English.
Brief Description About our "Vlog"
Vlogs are all very interesting in their own unique way; it is a video about each one’s thoughts expressed in a very different and awkward way. Still, many people use it in millions and most are just regular people just looking to experience something new yet usually curiosity wins. My Vlog was about a guy who goes by the name of audible484, a rapper who is vlogging about his music but at the same time he feels as if it was something weird, he describes this feeling and his emotions kick in, he seemed very nervous and could not help stumbling over his words but still he played it off and went more onto his music. His living room was all white and he was dressed with a dark sweater with a shirt that had tuxedo designs on it and the background you could hear the song superman playing by Eminem, he gave opinions about his music and at the same time asked viewers to check out and make comments about his music and gave links to his MySpace on how to communicate personally with him. His propaganda about his music was different because it is a way to spread his style of music through the YouTube audience and was a very effective way to increase his publicity and his music. The YouTube and the music business always go good together and that’s how it relates to this upcoming star with big dreams. His motivation is very interesting and would like people to hear his music and his style and share his knowledge and skills on the microphone. Any vlogger would be shy at first it is an awkward feeling being in front of millions of people and feeling like there is no one watching, audible484 was very descriptive and also expressed his nervousness in front of the webcam , he felt like he could do it but at the moment it was a very weird and long experience. So I leave this vlog to tell you that the world now a day is growing like anything in this world thanks to YouTube and maybe you should try this wondrous experience.

Reflect on Today's YouTube Video
Today we were assigned to watch a very interesting YouTube video. Our teacher was explaining how today in the world mostly everything is made throughout the Internet and made us watch this long but very interesting video. We had to reflect upon this anthropological introduction to the knowing of YouTube. First it gave an actual statistic on how it had more views than any other network in the U.S. Their numbers were amazing and their ratings were way better then television just by doing simple videos on the net. YouTube has expanded its ratings all over the world; anyone can view any video from any place. You Tube has more viewers than the highest rated television network. More interesting facts are that people use it for a variety of reasons regarding YouTube, many people or better said most people use it for comedic and interesting bizarre things that are being recorded using video cameras. It showed how a normal but interesting video made itself famous and viewed all around the world, one example was a guy who came to this country felt very lonely because he had no friends, so he held up a sign while people were walking, the sign said “Free Hugs” and as more and more people say that everybody stopped and gave the man hugs, he started growing popularity and more and more people were spreading this heartwarming movement, people from all over the country started doing this and soon it spread all over the world. Another interesting use of YouTube was the “Vlogs” which basically was a blog but instead of typing you say the blog, more and more people started this and soon became a new experience especially for new users, “it is a awkward feeling talking to a web cam to millions of people, yet, you feel like no one is there” basically YouTube is a whole new generation of technology understanding and bringing people together, so many videos can make you feel so many emotions, YouTube has become the most talked, viewed, and most popular tool on the Internet and in the world.
