My research focused on an educational video account. Inside this account are mainly explanations and interactions on various subjects and topics. It contains professors of math, science, literature, and various other subjects. YouTube was the first thing that came to mind when I started this research, so this video account that I researched was also on YouTube.After I watched a few of the videos, I became more interested in what was being explained in them, and it helped me to better understand what was going on in them. There are a lot of interesting examples from life that are used to explain this video account. This can make the more tiring educational content more interesting and less resistant to students.

I also chose to use YouTube as a platform when I was doing my own PLN. The reason I chose this platform is because I feel that it allows me to interact with other people by way of messages. The way the messages are left allows for a more flexible interaction. People can leave messages anytime, anywhere, and it’s easier for me to respond to everyone’s messages. Also, people can see each other’s batch of messages, which can also enhance the interaction between people. At the same time, this approach can also relatively reduce the pressure on the lecturer because some people will answer the questions that they can see, so the lecturer does not need to reply and answer every question.

My personal goal on this platform is to make this account an operating number, which is the same goal and reason why I started. The professional goal, on the other hand, is to communicate better the content that is useful or that I want to communicate. I believe that a video account should have a unified content philosophy. For example, if it’s an account that documents life, it should focus most of its video content on videos that document life. Some interesting content can be added to it, such as adding some other videos that read interesting comments and answer them, so that more people can enjoy the blogger’s video content because of the blogger’s personality.

One of the reasons I chose the YouTube platform to lead is also because it is a platform where privacy can be well protected. In video content, one can wear special effects to avoid being clearly seen in the face and to avoid being recognized through the face by people who have an agenda. And you cannot use your real name as the name of the video channel. And some interesting names can be made for more people to recognize and remember. But it can’t be about what is said just because no one will recognize it without showing their face. One should always be aware that it is still important to follow ethical concepts. Because of these settings that can protect personal privacy, it also makes me more willing to use the YouTube platform.
