Could a British teacher ever do this?

that was from a quick search on youtube - from memory with terms 'uk'
'politics' 'youth'. a blinxx/google video search wouldn't turn them up. but as
shane commented on my blog, they're responses to others - youtube being a
community.

I definitely think it's because they're not going through an adult filter that
they're so powerful, but then again the Obama vid was made from a teacher's
initiative and was actually put together by the campaigm - infact that's where
the controversy came from because the young people are obama, not hillary, let
alone mccain crazy.
Maybe what would help is to look at ways of getting what young people are
already saying from their own online initiative feeding back - rather than
constructing something new. This is one way of avoiding some of the issues
which come up which end up censoring them/scaring adults or politicians. Maybe
help with facilities - simple webcam/simple edit software - on top of existing
facilities for those without bedroom setups and then posting the best online.
You can already do this through youtube just by favouriting.
Might be easier nationally than locally but I still just (easily) found a
couple of 'political' videos for my town on youtube - none of which are tagged
'politics', but there were only a couple and none 'youth'.
