food for thought

hello everyone, if you are from India then I wish you happy Ganesh Chaturthi.

I was toying with the idea of handpicking video tutorials that qualify under the following heading:

content
clarity of concept
presentation
throw and accent of the speaker
the pace at which the subject unfolds
examples to elucidate the point.

Although it might sound very innocuous, but it turns out to be very time taking given the vast mine of data available on the internet.

I feel it will help the parents by fulfilling manifold purposes, namely;

know that the content is reliable
children don't have to mine through the youtube endlessly, so that would save a lot of time.
it will increase the effectiveness of learning and at the same time reduce the load (because most videos are for 7 to 10 mins duration)

kindly share your thought in this matter.

happy reading
