YouTube Videos Provide Free Computer Learning Online
People learn best in different ways - some by books, some by observation, some by one-on-one instruction, some by audio or video presentation.
I've found the wide range of computer how-to videos on YouTube to be a great resources, but the amount of material available is overwhelming.
Free videos on YouTube can be helpful as a learning supplement.
Unlike formal classes, you can pause and back them up at your own pace.
When you visit a YouTube channel like one of these, my recommendation is to click first on the "PLAYLISTS" link.
More often than not, this will take you to a list of video collections that the channel owner has posted or linked to.
These are some if the YouTube channels I've found most interesting and helpful. I've noted briefly what each one covers.
- Android Authority - covers "smart phones" such as the Samsung Galaxy series
- Clever Techie - covers web developer technologoies
- Faiz RoXx - covers Window 10 and 8, Android devices, and iOS (Apple system) in "Playlists"
- FlippinWindows - covers Windows 10, 7 and 7, and some Mac; tips and tweeks in "Playlists"
- Hank Drayton - basic computer tips on main page, not much at the moment in "Playlists"
- iCrumz Inc. - info about a free service for keeping your "Favorites" on the cloud so you can get to them from any device or location
- JAGTutorials - click the "Videos" link for lots of videos on Windows 8, 7 and earlier versions
- Microsoft - click "Channels" for links to several key Microsoft system, software and service areas
- Microsoft Customer Support - a wide range of "Playlist" topics, worth browsing and random watching to pick up on new tidbits
- Old Guy Geek on Windows - great range of tutorial videos on using Windows features in Old Guy's Playlist
- PCWorld - focuses on trends in hardware, not much for computer user questions but good for gadget-lovers and electronics buffs
Sali Kaceli - great tutorial videos on Windows 10 and the full range of Microsoft Office Suite applications
- TeachUComp - great tutorial videos on Microsoft Office, Adobe and Intuit software
You'll find links in the left-hand column for a dozen or so computer channels that I follow on YouTube, identified as "Subscriptions".
I suggest saving the address in your Bookmarks or Favorite, since the address is so long at the moment.
Hopefully I can give my own page a more simple address soon, but for now if you click on this link it should take you there.
I'll be adding more of these, and I'll be adding direct links to other specific videos and new material soon.
