Well, it is official.  Our school division finally lifted the ban that they had on YouTube.  Apparently they were getting many compaints, especially at the high school level.  I found it very interesting today the various reactions to this.  Of course there was the, “What’s YouTube?”.  Then there was the, “This is crazy.  How am I supposed to keep tabs on what my students are doing on the computer?” But my favourite was this, “Finally!  Now let’s hope people realize they have to teach and model for the students appropriate use.”  In one school there were three reactions that I would assume are pretty common across, not only our system, but most school divisions.  How is it that we have such a wide spectrum?  What needs to be done to lessen the gap and eliminate the fear?
