Posting is defined as uploading text, pictures, music, or videos to an online website, blog, wiki, or social networking site. When students post, they often make the mistake of putting up personally identifying information online. See “Personal Information.” The other mistake students make is posting someone else’s media to their website or social networking site (favorite song or picture).
Online Videos: Please be aware that comments on links are not alway appropriate. Watch the video before showing to your students. Always keep your finger on the pause button.

I agree that being ready to pause the video at any given moment is essential, because anything could slip that you didn’t catch on the first time you watched it. Sometimes, when teachers need to resort to YouTube they should skim for inappropriate comments, because they pop up all over the place. Even the most innocent videos could contain nasty posts.
