I’m always interested in learning something new, and this first video (Flu Attack!) was right up my street when it popped up as a ‘post’ within my Google Reader. I already understood most of how viruses multiply from my science classes which I enjoyed. Still it was good to see a visualisation of it to get the gist of how a virus is shared and how our bodies fight it.

I also liked seeing the credit crunch explained in a video. This was from a year and a bit ago, back when it was all kicking off in everyones awareness:

What would you like to see illustrated in a video? What would make more sense to you if you saw it illustrated or in real time?

For me a good explanation of profit and loss with T account balancing and double book keeping would have saved me a lot of aggrow back in Uni!

2009 seems to be the year of video and strangely enough the year of the written word. Its a balancing act between different consumption styles, some people prefer to be more vocation and also see what is being taught, while others learn by reading. Most learn via a mixture of the two styles of presentation.

Personally .. I’m loving the way of screencasts and also illustrated videos that teach. Makes me wonder about that saying ‘Seeing is believing’, is seeing also the way to understanding?
