Camera phones are capturing teachers in all types of classroom situations. Students are sending the secret videos to online sites like YouTube and MySpace, Education Week reported. Angry teachers, enthusiastic teachers, teachers clowning around, singing, and even dancing are captured on elaborately edited videos with popular soundtracks for the whole world to see. Teachers have raised their voices in protest against the student videos. Last year, in Britain, the Professional Association of Teachers called for a ban on YouTube, accusing the company of encouraging cyber-bullying after students filmed a teacher in the classroom and posted it on YouTube with the caption “You are dead.”
