Children and YouTube

Today in school, a girl was singing ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman’ by Frozen. One of the latest animation cartoons by Walt Disney. I was impressed with her as she was able to memorized the WHOLE lyrics of the song (and other Frozen songs too). I asked her where she did learn the song from. She told me every day, she would go into YouTube and search for the song.

Do you want to build a snowman? :)

I believe that YouTube has played a major role in society, especially young children. YouTube has also been noted as being one of the most famous social media platforms for showcasing new and creative work for all age ranges (Examiner.com, 2014). Children are always curious with the world around them and are eager learners. Children learn best then they have something that are of their interest and invokes their curiosity. Just by tying the key word to the search, children are able to find what they want to learn for example, educational songs, programmes and entertainment. YouTube can be a helpful learning tool and those who value learning should take time to explore the site and see what content fits their specific needs in order to enhance their educational experience (Examiner.com, 2014).
