The difficulty with the use of a phone in the classroom is, how to control the use and content recorded. This is something that would have to be determined for each class and the level of trust held with them; or, an alternative recording device may be needed and controled by the teacher, such as a scool camera or video recorder.

Not YouTube?
YouTube has the potential to be a valuable resource in the workshop environment. The students are able to use their phones to record video of techniques used to create their projects, for example of steps to marking out and cutting a dove tail joint. Then post their videos onto YouTube, a website, blog or many other places for all to see. They could also use the internet to look at different ways others use for the cutting out of a dovetail.
The thing to be wary of though, is that they may see a way that may seem easier but doesn't teach them the skills that you want them to learn; so emphasis is needed to inform them that you want them to learn a particular skill.
