ABSTRACT

Every day, kids are sharing their lives through video. The most popular video-sharing site is YouTube, which streams more than 4 billion videos daily (Oreskovic 2012; PR Newswire 2013). With 1 billion users visiting every month, more than 100 hours of video are uploaded to the site every minute (Warman 2013). As kids increasingly engage in this vastly popular activity, society is debating the question, Are kids actually learning anything by making so many videos?
