YouTube has created a YouTube Creator Institute to teach people how to produce better videos. I think this is much needed - I applaud YouTube in this effort. Particularly if they focus their efforts on teaching aspiring video producers how to create video that goes beyond basic self aggrandizement such as the Fred Videos and moves those producers toward helping others learn and grow as individuals (more like the help with a bow drill set). (Oh, who knows - maybe FRED has taught someone something or helped someone out - probably).
As they state it, "the YouTube Creator Institute equips promising creators with tools, education and promotion to bring their talent to the world." They are running a contest that rewards the inaugural winning class a paid YouTube Creator Institute experience including: tuition, round-trip airfare, food and rooming costs. I just hope that the judges reward innovation and not more cultural debauchery.
Maybe I should submit... what do you think? What would it be? Anybody have any ideas?

I learned something today...
I was talking to my brother on the phone today about "learning" (he is a corporate trainer) and we started talking about production of learning content... and how easy it is to produce short instructional videos like the following on YouTube.
I now know how to peel a banana - my entire life I have been doing it wrong. Yes, I continue to learn. Who would have guessed that I would learn to peel a banana on YouTube.
