All Educational, All the Time–TeacherTube
September 27, 2007
Watch your class go down the tubes. Wait, that came out wrong.
You love how sites like YouTube have made it easy to upload videos you want to show your class, right? But you’re a little nervous about telling your students to go there because, let’s face it, there’s a lot of crazy crap on there, also. Worse, what with all the alarmism about porn and internet predators, it’s very possible your administration has blocked sites like YouTube. Well, your homemade video demonstration of adiabatic heating and cooling isn’t going to broadcast itself, so you’ve got to find an alternative.
Submitted for your administrators’ approval: TeacherTube, an all-education video site that lets you upload your movies for free. You can also tune in to the various “Channels” featuring content like languages, math, phys. ed., writing, and professional development. Naturally, TeacherTube makes use of tags to further categorize videos. Whatever you need, you can probably find it, minus all the self-indulgent nincompoops giving their video response to the season premiere of The Office. -BILL FERRIS
