Teacher Tube-ular
November 9, 2007
Most people that own a computer have ventured onto YouTube at some point and viewed something, whether it be the Rosie vs. Elizabeth showdown, or OJ being arrested….again. Anyway, YouTube has become pretty popular because it allows people to upload any type of video at anytime.
Well the creators of YouTube also created a site called “Teacher Tube.” This site has been created for the benefit of teachers. It has a crazy amount of videos for teachers on different subjects. Some are postings of students work by teachers and others are demonstrations by teachers on different concepts.
I have found that by finding another way to explain a concept to my students is extremely beneficial. They love taking a few minutes to watch a video and most are fairly short. The site allows teachers to search by content and age appropriateness. I have only begun to explore what Teacher Tube has to offer but I am looking forward to searching for more that will help in my instruction.
