Youtube

Youtube is the place to go to see practically anything happen. Basically if you have a computer then you know about youtube. Anybody can use it, and anybody can broadcast themselves. That is one of the best parts of it. You can find anything from Albert Einstein to the latest hit album. What i found most interesting is that schools are using it in their class rooms for teaching lessons and showing the students video clips. Some teachers are even making students post videos on youtube for class projects. Other teachers are posting all of their tests and quizzes online and making the students complete them within 48 hrs. Here is my opinion on this subject: i feel that teachers are taking advantage of the students having the internet at home. There are many students who do not have internet access at home, let alone a computer. The teachers then expect those students to make an effort to come in before school or after school to work in the computer lab to get all the work done. I think that this is very unfair because there is not alot of time to work when you have an early bird class starting at 7 and you have to work after school at 3:30. i do not think that the teachers know the gravity of the situation.
