Graspr

This is a Web 2.0 site that has nothing but How To videos on it. It is similar to YouTube in how it is set up. You can either pick from a list of topics (ranging from Music to Arts & Crafts to Pets & Animals) or you can search for a topic such as crochet or origami. After you find a video you want to watch you simply hit play and voila! you see how to fold a paper bird or how to crochet a double half stitch.

This site is great for both personal and educational pursuits. If a teacher was covering world cultures and wanted to introduce something like origami to their class, but was not sure how to do it, they could pull up a video or two and show them to their students. Also, it is a great way to explore possible hobbies for one's personal use or to have students explore new hobbies for themselves. I really like this site and am happy I found it.

The URL of Graspr is www.graspr.com.
