Thing 21 You Tube and more

Well, needless to say I have had trouble logging on to You Tube at school. Seems it is blocked at all the school sites in Minneapolis and beyond. Strange thing is I have found students using it so they know a work around. I have turned into quite a You Tube fan at home for all the content it contains. I really think it is a resource that should be available in schools. It is one of the tools it will take some time for the schools to become accustmed to. For all the bad content on their there is so much depthful and insightful content. As Web 2.0 continues to gain traction schools are going to have to find a way to let in the useful content while blocking that content that is not worthy of being in the schools.
