Digital Citizenship #4

The internet is a great place for education (someone could replace going to college with Google if they really wanted to and had the drive to do so). Cooking is something that many people feel is difficult and time consuming. On Facebook there are little videos you can watch that teach you how to make a tasty looking dish. https://www.facebook.com/buzzfeedtasty/?fref=ts
You can imagine this being done for all sorts of things like fixing things around the house, "life hacks," crafts, and more. These videos teach you how to do things by simply looking up how to videos on the internet.

Not only is it good for teaching you how to fix, do, and make things around the house, but the internet is a great place for learning like you would at a college. I'm in a class that is completely online, which is something that wouldn't have occurred 10 years ago. Students can supplement their schooling with sites like Khan University, TED Talks, Udemy, Coursera, MIT's free online courses, and many many more.
