I think teachers should definitely use YouTube in their classrooms...if they preview it first and know the content. I don't see much of a problem with it, unless it starts to take over a majority of the teaching time. I would be really hesitant to post video of my students on the Internet, but it could be a good tool for a broadcast journalism class. It would allow students to share their work with parents and family members.
Students posting videos on YouTube could get a little scary. I wouldn't want to be searching for something and see a video of a student doing something inappropriate. I would also be scared of students using camera phones to record me and post it on YouTube. Even if I'm not ranting like the teacher we saw tonight, I would still be self-conscious about people critiquing my teaching style.
