Just found the ICT teacher on youtube.....

[StewartKnight]

I've just come across a video of the ICT teacher at my school on YouTube. The video says he's "losing it", but to be honest, I think he's quite calm (well, compared to usual).

 

He can be a real stress head though, so I'm in two minds about telling him...

 

what does everyone else think?

[Geoff]

I don't think you should tell him directly. I think you should just go to the SMT directly and let them deal with him/pupils/etc.

 

Dig out a copy of YouTubes video removal policy though, so your preprared for the technicalities.

[GrumbleDook]

Be prepared for a battle to get it removed though. We have had it take between 2 days and 3 months to get videos removed.

[kearton]

Any chance of a link?

[mac_shinobi]

They had something on watch dog or some show on telly about how the police should monitor you tube and how they should go through a legal process of the paper work etc with you tube to remove videos etc and the police had the opposite view where by they thought that it was down to youtube to monitor the video clips as they come in and to not allow certain videos to be posted etc.

We've had a few problems with Bebo et al, but so far I haven't seen anything on YouTube.

 

Do you find the videos when you search for the school name, or do you have to be more specific?

gecko: It was Panorama (again).

We've got things on there as well, SMT are trying to deal with it.

[mac_shinobi]

yeah that was it mark, I remembered it when I was at work but didn't get a chance to check back

My local high school had an incident where the Physics teacher was on the field using a starting pistol - something to do with sound - and he was almost attacked by a member of the public!

Now I know people are paranoid these days and the teacher wasn't doing anything wrong as such, but as he had the same problem last year, you'd think he would use a megaphone instead!

The little darlings recorded it on their phones and it was up on YouTube immediately.

Everyone seems quite happy with it and it is still there

This might help http://uk.news.yahoo.com/electric/20071016/ttc-youtube-clamps-down-on-piracy-70a53e7_1.html

That article doesn't really cover this question though; it relates to use of copyrighted material, and I don't see any copyrights being infringed when a kid films something in class (other laws, yes, but not that one).

[webman]

Don't worry Nick, FN-Greatermanchester just found that article and went on a posting spree necroing any thread containing the word 'Youtube'

[richard.thomas]

I was wondering how he's got over 1000 posts in such a short space of time!! lol, now we know

[tech_guy]

I hate YouTube and Bebo - we have to trawl through all the crap occasionally to make sure our little darlings haven't posted anything offensive about the school. As if we haven't got enough to do already. At least our IP is blocked now on Wikipedia so they can't deface any more pages.

[FN-GM]

Well actually i thought it would help you maybe able to make a technicality that the student publish the video without the permission of the teacher so it might be copyright or something. I don't know much about these things really.

[enjay]

I see where you're coming from, FN-GreaterManchester, but at present it doesn't infringe copyright laws. Curiously enough, publishing a print-out of the teacher's lesson plan and PowerPoint show does break copyright, but publishing film of them delivering that same lesson doesn't. You don't (yet) own the copyright to your own voice and we don't (currently) have laws preventing people from using your image without consent.

 

Hang on... if the teacher's PowerPoint was shown in the video, then it WAS breaching copyright, after all!! :-)

[FN-GM]

Possibly, when the new button comes out if you click it anyway Youtube may see it inappropriate and delete it anyway.

[Oops_my_bad]

This is a very difficult one and in todays society how the hell are you expected to be able police all this it's impossible.

I'm not sure if anyone else has already tried this as I have not had time to search the forums but this might work..

 

create a "you tube" phising page and use a dns redirect on your local dns so students end up at this page. when they enter their details a script will send a email to you with their you tube login.

 

now login with their details remove the video, deface their page, change their email address, change password. :twisted: :twisted:

 

Mission completed :twisted: :twisted:

[Grommit]

We just id the students and then lock them in a room until they take it off..

[EduTech]

haha the long way will always work especially when it gets to when they want to go home...

Good idea in principal, except that this violates section 3a of the Youtube Terms of Use
