There are many different ways to promote or advertise anything for free using social media. The way people and businesses can connect and share this way makes it really easy to get information out there for so many to see. This is how I plan to also share my own videos, as I plan to post them to my social media sites. Currently I am using YouTube, Instagram, Snap Chat and Facebook, predominantly, but also have TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn that I also enjoy sharing on once in a while. i find that the best way to connect is to find the social media apps that you feel with reach the most people, in the spectrum or field you desire to link with, and share away. The only hindrance is the one you choose to be blocked by. There is so much available for people, in ways of connecting and sharing, that we can really reach an abundance of people who might just be looking for exactly what you are trying to share. 

Peninsula College is having the Moving Pictures Festival, starting June 1st. It starts at noon. Open to all current and former Peninsula College students. Hope to see you there. 

People watch videos on TikTok and YouTube or other forms of social media, as they are looking to be entertained, and also have a desire to learn new things. I have been creating YouTube videos to bring more healing and awareness around PTSD and other things. One of my focusses has been around nature and how it heals us. As people are watching nature or seeing my talk and sometimes cry) they can learn and experience my process of healing and growth, while learning more about how to understand others and the struggles we each have in life. This can bring empathy and open minded awareness to those who watch it. 

It is easier for people to watch videos to learn certain things, rather than to read a book, as a lot of us are visual learners. Watching a video can be fun and more entertaining and feel more engaging. It is mentally stimulating and bring in sounds and shows examples or more explanations, which is much more stimulating to our brain in different ways. 

For me, I love to learn through videos for the visual and audio components, especially if I am on a time constraint, I can zoom through and see parts, rather than sit through the whole thing. I appreciate videos, documentaries and education via these forms as it allows me to also walk or move around, rather than needing to sit. 

We each learn differently, and it is wonderful that there are so many forms of education nowadays, which allow different people to gain the education they are seeking, while also being entertained at the same time.
