YouTube in the Classroom

Busy student, having to spend less time on YouTube, and who has fussed too much over keeping copyright protected material out of his own videos, encounters a bit of irony.

Clarification:
I DO believe this site can be a valuable learning tool. I just hope YouTube takes note of that and helps to foster it.

Why should copyright infringement get in the way of education?

[OhCurt]

Amen!

Greetings from San Francisco, btw. Wish you and Cindy could've been here!

"oh I'm listening to copyright infringing songs,so i can't share them with you,sorry."lmao

[OhCurt]

Kinda rude, right?

;-)

Hey! My backyard! give a wave across the bay!

I'm looking forward to Toronto in a big way!

I'm convinced it will all be worth the wait.

Maybe we can do frisco(I hear using that cute antiquated diminutive term is a no-no) next year...

Check out my latest video. I did a covert video of my class. I thought I'd bring my classroom to YT since YT came to your classroom. ha,ha,ha!

Oh you really should watch it. It's hilarious and it has parts that just make you sit there and think.

[OhCurt]

Thank you! And, yep, that's Al underneath the bag (but the voice is someone else thanks to some technical problems on the day we shot the footage).

As for the instructor, I'm thinking Fair Use gets her completely off the hook. I just loved the irony of having to spend less time here (and having to worry about complying with so many rules when I upload) and then sitting in class watching that clip.

Those are some great ideas and to make those videos or channels more visible instead of just a community, have it be one of the tabs along with 'top rated', 'most viewed' etc, it should be a tab with a profound title like 'making a difference' or 'human world', or 'world working together'.... I love your sense of humor and I love your serious contributing side also. I cherish the 'Hug a hater video". "Al is that you?".

Re copy right, couldn't the teacher be exempt for educational purposes?
