Youngsters films go on You Tube channel
Posted on 02/01/09
Resources
Videos made by children about how to stay safe on the internet are being posted on Leicestershire County Councils You Tube channel.
The County Council has set up its own channel on the site, to reach as wide an audience as possible, and the Netiquette films are some of the first to be put up.
Schools across the county entered the competition to design a series of storyboards to teach young people the Netiquette rules.
Mountfields Lodge Primary School, in Loughborough, won in the younger age category with their film Be Cool, where four boys get sucked inside their computer.
Belvoir High School, in Bottesford, won in the older age group with the film Crashed, about a girl who "crashes" an on-line chatroom.
The prize was for the youngsters to be visited by the County Councils film crew and have their ideas made into a short video.
Now these have been loaded on to the County Councils You Tube channel and can be viewed by searching on the website or going direct to the channel: www.youtube.com/user/LeicestershireCC
Other videos also on the site include information on the County Councils Disability Equality Scheme and a short film about working for the council.
Brian Page, Cabinet member for Resources, said: "Having a County Council You Tube channel gives us another way of communicating with people and getting our messages out to everyone, especially young people."
