It always amazes me that despite being the world’s largest video library, YouTube is still blocked or banned in many educational institutions. As a resource for learning about almost anything, but particularly for language learning it is an incredibly valuable tool and a tool that many third party companies have started to build on and exploit to make its use easier and more engaging.

Many tools that can help educators exploit the learning potential of YouTube with a particular focus on English language learning. I hope you can enjoy these tools and if you do work in an institution where YouTube is still blocked perhaps you can use this article to help persuade the people responsible that the benefits of making the resource available far outweigh the manageable risks that it can create.

When I searched up mood boards on this website, nothing came up. However, when I searched up collaging, I got a sea of recommended apps to use to do so. I am sure all of these apps are great, but you know I could never turn my back on my trusty and perfect Pinterest. However, this just goes to show that there is a huge market for mood boarding right now, people just don't know what to call it or use it for, especially the generation on this website which I have noticed to be mostly middle aged. I hope many people find my blog, where they can piece together that mood boarding is very similar to collaging, but can be done very simply on free apps like Pinterest, and can change your life. Making these collages, and then adding manifestation to the process is the key to having a creative outlet, especially one that directly benefits you. They are easy and stress free to make, and allow you to look at beautiful and inspiring things whenever you want. By making the boards, then telling yourself that you will one day have everything in it, or the aesthetic displayed in it, will keep you motivated and grateful for the hard parts of life that get you to the good parts.
