[senit] youtube

Great to see interest in using stuff like YouTube.

There is a lot of really great stuff too, such as:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ZlUnU8Oeo

Which was shown again yesterday at ACE North and reminded me how brilliant
it is (this email is just a shameless plug to get people to watch/buy it!)!

Don't forget, if you are really keen you can record the youtube video at
home as a non-streaming format and then play it at school. E.g. using (the
slightly flaky) http://vixy.net/  

TaTa for now.

Cheers.

Simon

i guess it could be covered by a normal aup. what some staff dont seem to
realise is that there is a lot of not v nice stuff on utube(even though it
removes stuff continuously), and that something that starts off ok can get
bad. so have reccomnded pre-viewing all content before a class. however as
youtube is one site rather than the internet which most know is unregulated,
this seems to be harder to get over .
again on the internet a lot of bad stuff would be stopped by our isp but i
am not sure this is tru for stuff within a site like youtube. some schools
do ban it so it obviously an area worth discussing and those of you who know
more about it than me can help here.as david suggests making a direct link
to pre-viewed stuff might be a good idea.
