Challenge

• Video may identify students and locations.
• Making a compliant video requires thinking about telling your story without telling about the people in it.
• Currently people are working around blocks on compliant sites by uploading on YouTube instead.
• Some people use online video to promote face2face bullying
• Visible leadership: Blocking educational media from public spaces has a cultural risk. If students being constructive in school are not a part of the wider fabric of media glory on the internet then this reduces the quality of choices available as constructive practice and role models online. When students learn out of school they see school bullys and other efforts to make online glory through risk. Burying constructive glory is counterproductive.
• Can you clean up the internet and keep it generative? If it's no longer potentially disruptive then its not generative - if it remains disruptive then someone will attempt to regulate it through motives of fear, respectability or profit.

Context

• Many families upload funny home videos to YouTube or images to flickr
