#9 (23 Things)

What do you like or dislike about YouTube? Did you find videos that would be useful for teaching and learning? Is YouTube restricted in your building?

As my profession is making videos, I have been aware of YouTube for... ever. As it is a Google product, they have issues and corporate bias that I find disturbing. Their support for terrorists who show beheadings in order to recruit more terrorists, for instance, also their one-sided support in the Pro-Life/Choice debate, religion in general and conservatism in particular.

Truly, the VAST majority of the videos posted by netizens suffers from this problem

Yes, there are some instructional materials on YouTube, but they tend to lack support items, adherence to state-mandated standards and, most sadly, any sort of scientific rigor.

Again. It is caveat emptor. Know what you are buying, and from whom. On YouTube, check twice.
