The complication is that while there are programs to teach video at school, uploading and sharing online isn't necessarily something schools want to incorporate as part of the program.
There are practical, legal [eg:release authority]and ethical [eg: videoing minors ] issues at stake.As far as I know this cripples a lot of direct and formal educational interface with Web 2.0 prospects and hampers separate community projects for the same reason.(eg: it would be standard that any video project would have in place from the start a set rule of procedure). So there are two issues here as maybe 'videoblogging' does not reflect something that while very buoyant, is offline. Here in Australia there are some exciting initiatives formatted by making video cameras available to Indigenous children in isolated Aboriginal communities -- but these same locales won't necessarily have web access. I nonetheless expect major creative advances of some consequence as video is being used as a expressive tool among kids whose first language isn't English and who don't necessarily embrace White Australia's preference for writing and reading. Video is also more culturally useful because it is more in sync with a verbal tradition rather than a literal and printed one. dave riley
