Page 14/15 - Activity 17

I visited www.lynda.com and watched both the `Welcome` video, and the `What's a blog really?`, I found that it was a very basic outline of what any blog could provide, and didn't teach me much more than iI had already learnt. However whilst browsing related videos I found that there were videos all about Blogger, which were really relevant, and went into a very special and professional level of detail. In addition to this there was a very large library of other videos on other subjects I could access, the benefit here was I was not limited to how much I could download. This is good if I'm needing to broaden my knowledge on more than one subject.
I think that these videos are a good educational tool because unlike real life each video can be used over and over, and rewound and fast foward to the necessary parts of the video, if anything is missed. Moreover for those who are not at school this site allows adults to get help they need, without necessarily having to invest in costly adult education classes.
Overall it is hard to find a bad comment for lynda.com, and it is by far the best online education tool I have found.
