Allow YouTube and Twitter for educational purposes within schools.
As of this time schools have banned the use of these sites under "Child Protection" laws. We live in an ever evolving age, where students needs and ways of learning are ever changing. Schools across the country need to be able to implement such sites for better learning.
Our current education system is bland, boring and outdated. We need a 21st century upgrade. I recently read a report by Professor Nicole Buzzetto titled “Student Attitudes towards the Integration of YouTube in Online, Hybrid, And Web-Assisted Courses” this was clear evidence that something is missing from our education system. There are great channels out there such as channels such as Mr Bruff and Hegarty Maths but we cannot access them at a time we need them most; during school!
