Talk:User-Generated Content in Education/YouTube

Don't merge.. Previous page should be deleted

At this point, let's see how this page turns out. It seems to fit well within the User-Generated Content topic of the book. If there's an orphan page or book somewhere that was never completed, then that should probably be deleted. If there are other concerns, they should be clearly described here. --Sgarrigan (talk) 03:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

My contributions to this page include the History of YouTube/Teachertube, Features that are found on the site, and the Educational Value of the websites. Also, I added to External Resources and References and was able to upload a picture of a keyboard! -KCurry

I was in charge of copyright, benefits, and critisim on the youtube and teachertube wikibook. I add the links to the further readings, external links and the reference.I added an images of copyright symbol and creative commons.(MH)

This page is really nice and has a lot of good information and I'm impressed you were able to upload a image, I never did figure out how to do that! Margaret.mourer (discuss • contribs) 02:05, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I just learned something new! I didn't know there was a TeacherTube. What a great way to share information. I guess Id better start paying more attention to what is happening in technology. ss

The Youtube/Teacher tube books is very well organized. I like the Benefits and Criticism sections as well as the information about copyright laws. KE

Four things to consider (in priority order):
 * 1) Add your initials and who contributed what to this page. See how that was done on the previous two pages.
 * 2) There are many ways to format references in Wikibooks, and it's important that we standardize on one. It's the one I shared on the example page at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:Assistive_Technology_in_Education.
 * 3) Remove the reference to Wilkes. It doesn't relate to your topic. You could put references to your own e-mails on this DISCUSSION page if you wish.
 * 4) The source for your primary information (the first big section) has no references. Where did this come from. It needs a citation. --Sgarrigan (talk) 04:26, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

March 2011
My contributions to this page include several additions to the section on "History." I also uploaded a photo of the original YouTube headquarters. I added some facts to the section titled "Historical Facts" and "Features." I added the new section titled "YouTube Guidelines." I also made some changes to the information about Creative Commons and added the whole section about how serious YouTube takes copyright issues under the "Privacy" section. I added the YouTube logo at the top of the page (though I forgot to sign in so you won't see my name), but it was Ashley's idea to do that. I also changed the placement of some of the topics to make it "flow" smoother.N.K. 2011

I added the information about teacher tube teaching resources. I also edited the "History" section by organizing the teacher tube info after the you tube information. --SLR 2011

My contributions to this page include ideas in the history section of the wikibook and also the criticisms section. CDelazio

Great work with inserting the image. I also inserted an image on our OER page. I struggled with some of the markup language to get it inserted properly as well as figuring out the correct licensing issues. Yours definitely adds value. That image represents the site. March 3, 2011

Peer Comment: Courtney Delazio
I too agree with Andrea. The image on the page does add value to the wikibook and makes it more appealing. Great job!

I do feel that you have a good bit on information on the book and that it definitely is a good start. Yet, after looking over the site I found a few areas of concern. I feel that if you are going to use the Youtube logo at the top of the page there should be come caption or information that describes it. Right now it just seems all alone. In addition Youtube, You Tube, and YouTube are all used on the page I feel that one standard name for the company should be used.

I believe that I made all changes to the problems with the different names. Thank you for pointing that out! ---N.K.

Peer Comment: Teresa
Your changes definitely enhance the page overall. I like the addition of the YouTube logo at the top, makes the page more appealing to the eye. I especially like the additions of the YouTube Guidelines and the importance of privacy. Often people think, "if its on the web its fair game", which is far from the truth. It is important for potential users to know proper internet etiquette and copyright requirements. Nice Job!

Peer Comment by Jenn B.- What a fun topic to work on. I'm not sure what was previously there, but the page looks great.

Peer Edit - Ashley Brunner
I added the Tosh.O section, as well as several links to the further readings section. I originally tried to add the YouTube logo, but it was the wrong picture. The Nicole added the correct image for me (thanks so much). Everything looks great. Go team! '''

Peer Comment: Tom S.

I like that you added a section about Tosh. It is important to note the impact these resources have had on popular culture and Tosh is a great example of how youtube has been accepted and is being woven into our society. Just like news carriers are using youtube as a reference more and more often, so are entertainment outlets finding a profitable way to use that material which, in turn, only fuels more usage and content.

Good job with the picture. I attempted to add a picture to the OER book but had some difficulties. I didn't realize that YouTube was so "new". I found the history section to be nicely detailed.

Sue's Comments
Lots of great information. It would be nice to see a more specific treatment of the use of TeacherTube to let students teach other students. The videos that students create work very well for topic introduction, differentiation, and models for class projects. Well done.
