[Year 12 IT Apps] YouTube down the tubes?

[Shaun Turner]

HI
 
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.
 
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.

Can I take up an issue with YouTube.
Our admin is looking to ban YouTube on the basis that "all other 
schools" already have banned it and therefore our students are at risk

in ways other students are not.
Would appreciate some feedback on whether schools have banned YouTube 
or not - will be of value as we try to decide on its in-school 
educational potential. At the moment the defense is being held together

by curriculum initiatives. Keith's input is more appreciated as 
supportive evidence.

With Thanks
John Turner
