Re: Cool Cat Teacher Blog: Youtube: Everywhere but the Classroom (And How you can Bring it There Anyway)

John,

I am always talking about this and agree that the Terms of Use do not allow the ripping to static media. In addition, in the Terms of Use, 4c. states that the user can stream or embed only.

Another educator and I are working on contacting YouTube for clarification for schools, although I do not think the Fair Use guidelines would allow us to do something that is prohibited by the Terms of Use.

We are just looking for written permission from them to allow teachers to do this, not necessarily because it is blocked in some schools, but due to the fact that streaming hogs all the bandwidth it can find, and we need to leave it open for other instructional purposes, too.

We will see what type of response we get and make that public. For now, I am acting under the assumption that ripping onto static media is not allowed, and that is how I am handling it in our district. We do not block YouTube, though.

Re: HTC Touch Dual is available but only online

I have the HTC Touch with Verizon and would have waited for the Dual if the slide-out keyboard would have been QWERTY. I am quite happy with the Touch and using a third-party (large) on-screen keyboard for text entry.
