Oh, I do understand the educational value of YouTube and related websites, but
I would have considered the usage to be much more effective in a "lead"
environment - I.E a teacher/tutor/professor using projection to deliver this
kind of content. I've seen both sides of the coin in colleges and schools, and
I've more often than not noticed that when students, particularly those in
their early to mid teens, tend to foray into casual video browsing.
Of course, it could equally be argued that this be the fault of the lesson
leader, or even the curricular content, but I don't think it's too simplistic
to disallow student access to this content (perhaps with exceptions at breaks
and OOH times), and enact policy that this be delivered in most cases by the
class leader. Unless, of course, we go way over-complicated and allow specific
video whitelisting - which actually wouldn't be that difficult to set up with
an in-house tool I don't think.
Of course, different things work for different environments, countries and
ages. I'm merely intrigued - perhaps this is a good topic for another debate.
