I read this article in InsideHigherEd.Com on September 6 but it's taken me two weeks to get past my initial shock and dismay in order to react to the article. I knew that college age students (and younger) were making videos and posting these on YouTube. Now some students are making fun of their professors and fellow students by videotaping them during class and posting these on the internet, many times with names and universities identified. In addition, some of the tapes depict inappropriate behavior such as a student mooning a class during a professor's lecture (will be interesting to see how employers view this behavior when it's time for him to interview for a job!)
Certainly puts the occasional problem I have with my students coming to class tardy into perspective.
