This blog will look at what youtube has to offer, then I will use different online video content to to portray an interesting event that I had on my fieldwork experience.
YouTube is a video sharing website where the users can upload, share and view videos of all different areas. It displaysa a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short orginal videos. Most of the content upload is by different individuals that have a YouTube account.

A topic of interst drawn from my fieldwork placement in paediatrics was the use of play and activities for intervention. This clip shows a variety of activities that an occupational therapist did with a client.
Helping to build fine motor skill was something that we did a lot of on placement. Playing with play dough and creating different objects with it was very effective. It is also was a great texture for the children to play with. Here is a clip of an OT making a play dough chain and showing how it improves fine motor skills. Unfortunatly I'm unable to upload the video, but here is the link for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFa-dHZkAAY&feature=related
