Tech Prep & You Tube

In a recent post from the Tech Prep Blog, a You Tube link to Tulsa Tech's Second Life Video was included. Second Life is a internet based virtual world where people can interact from all over the world. Higher Education institutions, including the University of Florida, Princeton, and Rice University have chosen to develop real estate for educational purposes within this environment.

Tulsa Tech has chosen to build a Second Life campus and made a video showcasing their efforts. The Tech Prep Blog contained a post of the video with the intent of showing creative thinking and innovation in the recruitment of students to CTE. It was not our intent to offend anyone with the showing of the video.

It was brought to our attention that the "Related Videos" section of You Tube contained a video that could be viewed as inappropriate. If you came across the video, we apologize. That was not the intended video we were sharing.

Please understand that the content of some of the features of You Tube is out of the control of the user. The link to the video sent was intended to share the good things that Tulsa Tech had to offer using Web 2.0 technologies. We hope to continue using Web 2.0 technologies, including You Tube, for educational purposes and for elevating CTE and student performance in Oklahoma.
