These website are all pretty good and I think I would will use them all. EDU was good because it covered topics that some of the other webesites did not - sparklines in Excel are cool! TeacherTube does not have a lot on Microsoft on it but what I did find I think would use quite a bit if I was working in a school library. It is a very good website for keeping in touch with curriculum and how subjects are covered according to the different grade levels. You would gain a better idea of how to market the library to each of the grade levels.
You Tube is You Tube with an abundance of STUFF. If you can't find anything on a website, it will be on You Tube! Goodwill Community Foundation Learn Free is another great website with a lot of things all in one place. The information is not in video format it's click to the next slide format with no audio but it is very simple and well set out information to follow. I like that all the information is in one place instead of having to trawl through STUFF on You Tube. You can discover new and relevant information without being distracted away from your original topic. Probably the easiest and simplest of all was Microsoft. All the applications are covered with video and audio. Everything is set out very clearly, it's easy to understand, you can learn at your own pace, test yourself at the end and redo it again....and again.....and again until you get it right. But, that fact that all of these websites are for free is the best.
My overall experience on all the above:

A whole heap of videos on different areas of non-fiction writing. I particularly like the "Travel" video. There is also "Truth in Fiction"and "Editors" and a few others that sound very interesting. I like the diversity of having writers, teachers, readers and students as speakers. A good variety of different viewpoints.
TASK TWO - FIVE UNIVERSITYS/TAFES & FIVE LESSON/ARTICLES
Bond University
Beginners Guide to Photoshop
Beginners Guide to Photoshop
This is a beginners guide to Photoshop with 10 videos each running around 3 - 4 min.
I chose this because it would be home (I would like photoshop for our home computer) and for work in a library. As it's something I don't use all the time, I forget the ins and outs of it and these videos are a good simple guide to keep.
Deakin University
Social Media and Mobile Technologies
https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/ipads-in-teaching-learning/id477349998?i=103857616&mt=2
This is a series of 6 videos on social media and mobile technologies. I was particularly interested in two of the videos - "Childrens use of ipads and smartphones" and "ipads in teaching and learning". Since a lot of schools are now introducing this into their curriculum, it is good to keep up with how the teaching staff and students use them beacause it is has a huge impact on how a library is run. Library staff need to know this technology too.
