My son likes YouTube. A lot. Most of the videos he watches are inoffensive, some are excellent. We’ve sat together riveted watching videos on everything from craft-making and sea-life to web-skills and basic coding.
His reading and maths comprehension have been demonstrably enhanced by ingeniously constructed tutorials on spelling and multiplication. I have a lot of time, too, for some of his favourite Minecraft and Lego tutorials, but for every lucid and witty piece of programming, there are several thousand which scream and blare hot nonsense directly into his brain.
