# How we use YouTube

YouTube lets us demonstrate how Edzo works and share teaching ideas that benefit from visual explanation.

## What we create

### Edzo Learn channel (kids)

* **Educational videos**: engaging, age-appropriate content that teaches maths, science, English, and other subjects in a way kids actually enjoy
* **Learning adventures**: story-driven or challenge-based videos that make concepts stick
* **Interactive prompts**: videos that encourage kids to pause, think, and try things themselves

### Edzo channel (teachers and parents)

* **Product walkthroughs**: showing teachers how to use Edzo features step by step
* **Teaching ideas**: short, practical videos demonstrating how to use Edzo resources in the classroom
* **Feature announcements**: visual introductions to new capabilities
* **Tutorials**: detailed guides for creating and remixing resources
* **Community spotlights**: showcasing creative ways teachers are using Edzo with their learners

## Our audience

Our primary YouTube audience is **kids watching educational videos**. We create content that's genuinely educational, entertaining, and worth a child's time.

We run two channels:

1. **Edzo Learn** (primary): Educational video content for children aged 5 to 12. This is where the bulk of our effort goes. Every video must be valuable on its own: would a kid want to watch it? Would a parent feel good about their child watching it? Would a teacher share it with their class?
2. **Edzo**: Platform tutorials, feature introductions, and how-to guides showing educators and parents how to get the most out of Edzo.

Both channels follow the same principle: every video must earn the viewer's time by being educational, entertaining, or inspiring. If it's none of those, it's not worth creating.

## Production values

We aim for clear and helpful over polished and expensive. A well-lit screen recording with good audio and clear narration is more valuable than a high-budget production that takes weeks to create.

A few practical guidelines:

* **Audio matters most**: invest in a decent microphone. Viewers will tolerate average video quality, but poor audio drives people away.
* **Keep intros short**: get to the point within the first 10 seconds. Teachers are busy.
* **Show real examples**: use actual Edzo resources and Learning Spaces rather than abstract mockups.
* **Include captions**: always upload subtitles or enable auto-captions for accessibility.

## Video structure

A good Edzo video typically follows this pattern:

1. **Hook** (5-10 seconds): what you'll learn or see
2. **Context** (10-20 seconds): why this matters for teaching
3. **Walkthrough** (the bulk): step-by-step demonstration
4. **Wrap-up** (10-15 seconds): recap and next steps, with links in the description

## Principles

* Every video should teach something useful
* Keep videos focused and concise; respect the viewer's time
* Use real examples from the platform rather than abstract explanations
* Include links to relevant resources and help docs in descriptions
* Encourage viewers to try things themselves
