Youtube Learning?

Schools are not prepared for the type of learning that today's students are participating in. This student would never have learned this in school anyway, but say he had posted a video of him trying to do math homework. He could have easily asked his online network for help with math and gotten it. Reaching out to the online community for help, regardless of the subject matter, is an easier and faster way than going to find someone to  help or even emailing a teacher. This boy could get help from an expert! How cool is that? If this had been math homework, he could have emailed his teacher, but who is to say the teacher would check his or her email in time? This poor little guy would struggle all night and then be confused all through class. Instead, putting his questions on the web for his entire network to see can give him instant, expert help. Schools need to encourage, not discourage, this type of online collaboration.
