Youtube is currently blocked at my place of employment. But , I have had access to it at other times, and it can be informative. However, after reading the news today about the college freshman that committed suicide due to his roomate posting a video of him involved in a sexual act...Youtube can also be used in non-productive ways. Students should be advised of the risk associated with downloading other people's personal information as well as waht could happen to their information and private issues.
I have been granted a brief access to You Tube since the last posting. I chose to watch the Interview between Michael Jackson's mother and Oprah. I also watched a feamle aerolist from the 1920's that not only changed airplanes in flight-but repaired a wheel that had been lost on the second airplane.
YouTube can not nly entertain and allow for sharing of moments between freinds, it can also provide educational video clips that have been recovered and preserved from bygone eras.
There are many educational videos on YouTube. You can learn languages, there are booktrailers, there are how-to videos, etc.
