<DIV>HI</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have banned youtube, and myspace for that matter, partly on the grounds of limited educational value, that we have been able to work out, it's a large consumer of bandwidth, and the kids will always be kids and find the kind of material we wouldn't want them looking at - which they did before we banned it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would be interested in learning of these curriculum initiatives that require the use of youtube, and it's alternatives. I'm not sure I can think of any, and i'd be fairly sure I could suggest alternatives.</DIV>
