App Smackdown

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Eqxnkkhgpo


For my app smackdown I selected the app known as “youtube”. I have been a huge fan of watching youtube videos since I was a little girl, I even would make my own as a kid. This app has gotten more popular over the years and has left a huge impact on society. Youtube has also become a job as well, with people receiving actual income from posting content on the app. Did you know youtube is the second most popular website behind google? 


Youtube's features such as recommended videos allow the app to feel more personalized and as if it's showing you what YOU wanna see, not just filled with content you aren't interested in. Another example of features I showed in my presentation was the watch later playlist, a helpful feature when you stumble across a video and can't watch it at that very moment- add it to your watch later playlist to watch later on. 


Youtube will help me as someone going into the PR and advertising field because the video sharing aspect of this app is great for communicating and advertising. Living in a technology ruled world, this app can allow you to communicate with the public through a pre-recorded video or through a live stream using YoutubeLive. Youtube allows me to advertise products in a fun and effective way. Advertising by going door to door takes lots of time and using newspaper ads costs money. Youtube is free and will allow me to advertise and promote brands for a company for free! This app can do wonders for me as someone wanting to enter the PR and advertising industry. 


I uploaded my app smackdown for a reason, I wanted to show how simple it is to use the app and be able to share videos with the public. I have even used YouTube in classes to post a video for a project, just like we did for this class for our introduction videos.

    I like that you included background on your app. Youtube is such a popular platform, that it is interesting to know the start of it. Another thing I found interesting about your presentation was when you explained how Youtube can be a job. Not only does Youtube let people express themselves with their interests, but can generate a large amount of money for some.

    Ava I enjoyed your presentation about Youtube because it is something I am fully aware of and is completely relatable in terms of most people being able to relate. I think it is funny how current youth and possibly future generations would like to be You-tubers when actually becoming one can be an arduous journey. You need to gain millions of subscribers and obtain thousands of views on a single video to get some money. I think it is a good and safe idea that you are willing to learn from this cite to help improve in your public relation occupations for the future.

    I think everyone is familiar with Youtube in this day in age but I liked how you went into greater detail over the app. Before this class, I never made a Youtube video and was a little lost in the process of making one. But from your video and explanation of the app, you explain all of the steps very well.

    I liked how you went into detail about Youtube explaining that it is not just a place where you can upload videos but also that they have a music platform and especially their own tv platform that keeps getting bigger.

    HI Ava! I totally enjoyed your smack down and slide show. I have always loved Youtube and also posted a few videos of my animals as well but until I saw your presentation I had no idea that You tube can be used as a professional tool! Promoting products on Youtube as a PR is a great idea!

    I really liked how you went into detail on how to product place within YouTube and how others make a living off of the application. I personally enjoy the app as a learning tool, from tiny house builds to make-up tutorials its such a great place to learn from, and now can see the more brand and business focus for both small and large businesses with the app.

    Hi Ava, your presentation was constructive, and I always enjoy watching, learning, and listening to music on Youtube. It has been my favorite website, and a few of my friends vlog and post pranks on Youtube, and it's crazy how Youtube is a platform for people that can earn money.

    Hi Ava, your presentation was amazing and very informative. I have always used YouTube just for listening to music. Recently I have noticed people vlogging and putting their selves out there to earn money.

    Hi Ava! I agree with your point on the watch later feature. It's one of my favorites, next to playlists. Can't wait to see your creations in the advertising space!

    Ave, I also did YouTube for my smackdown, however I feel like you went more into depth about it's many extra features like YouTube Music and TV! I would say we both combined gave much insight to YouTube as a resource, and think it will help many people.

    Ava, i feel like your presentation was a refresher course. I remember when i first started using youtube i was so confused i wish i would've had your presentation to help me out then. I also like that you mentioned extra things i didn't know about.

    Ava thank you for your presentation about YouTube, I haven't really used it since high school, so it was nice to get an informative refresher course.

    Hey Ava! Youtube was obviously a main part in many of our childhoods, but I never realized how informative it could be for kids now a days. There are so many more things to do their then to just watch videos. It's crazy to me how much the platform has changed over the years.

       Chapter Six of the Connected Educator  tackles the topic of personal networking. The chapter talks about how "networks help you leverage deeper connections and relationships, and from those networked relationships you grow a community of connected learners and leaders". What I thought was extremely interesting was how the chapter opens up with Sheryl talking about how networking used to be like in the early 1990s. She talks about using a science board named "Newton". I never heard of this before and I'm not sure how this science board works.      As someone who plans on entering the public relations and advertising field networking is a huge factor of my job. I am required to connect to the public and communicate through my company. Networking and creating bonds can result in huge positive results and can make or break my ability to promote/sell a product. If I have good relationships with the people I am promoting the products too, there is more likely t

    Decades ago, who would have grasped how beneficial technological aspects would be in the work place. Myself, I can say I would have not even  acknowledge this fact even twelve years ago when I was just a kid. In todays world, businesses use social media platforms such as Instagram and Tik Tok to promote their merchandise.             The Connected Educator  explains the topic of professional learning communities and the tools, skills and resources to keep these environments thriving. The Connected Educator explains how web-based technology tools can be used to connect and collaborate. Using cites such as blogs and wiki, members of these communities can transfer their learning to professional practices.      I have a passion for public relations and  advertising, despite not knowing the exact job title I wish to claim after college, I do know my job will lay within that field. Chapter two connects to my career by discussing technology to connect. As a communications major, I am awar
