This video from youtube can be an excellent resource for character and leadership education. The lesson can be based on the theme of knowing your goals in life and pursuing them with dogged determination, resilience and innovation (COZ KIWIS CAN'T FLY). As we can see, with careful searching and evaluation, some of the video resources in youtube can be excellent for educational purposes. An idea would be to organize a community of practice for a group of educators to contribute video resources (cleared of IP regulations) for teaching and learning, especially in areas of social studies, history, character and leadership education. In that way, we'll be leveraging on the spirit and working principles of web 2.0 for the advancement of education globally.

Your idea of organising a community of practice for a group of educators to contribute video resources for teaching and learning,is a good one Liang. As teachers there never seems to be enough time to do what we have to, never mind what we would like to ... so sharing the load would be make development or sourcing of video resources easier. I am involved in a Community of Practice for my discipline area and we are combining the ideas and efforts from several institutions and industry partners - this may be another idea we could use.
