Youtube Chanel to Follow: Epic Reads!

I follow a lot of different forms of media in blogs, social media, and YouTube. This post is about a super valuable YouTube Channel called Epic Reads! Now, I know that it is not a technology post, however I am using Technology to keep up to date with current book trends and this is one of those ways!

I like it because it talks about adult book and teen book trends and the vlogger (video blogger) is not too annoying, I can handle her talking, in fact if I was in a classroom I would use the December 2017 Book Haul (at around the 1:30 mark) to talk about trigger books and how books can have themes that really grip the reader.

Some other channels that I follow are:
Google for Education-I have spammed you before about this one, however I feel like highlighting again the EDU in 90 sessions. They only take about a minute and a half of your time to look at features of the G Suite!
Origin of Everything-This is a relatively new one. It is PBS branching out into YouTube land. They give the origin of random topics like rubber duckies, hashtags, and other topics.
CrashCourse-This one gives you a bunch of crash courses in multiple categories. 

Have any others that you follow? Add them into the comments!

Think of these books as a What if... Chicken Soup for the Digital Soul, where the author shares real life stories of how digital footprints have impacted both adults and students and gives ways to create a positive footprint. Let's face it, we can't not have a digital footprint, unless you are totally disconnected, so we, staff and students, need to focus on making sure what others can see of us online is what we want them to see. Ways you can check what...
