You Tube

I just love You Tube. Unfortunately, our filter will not allow us to access it at school. However, You Tube has a wonderful site called Teacher Tube that screens content. On Teacher Tube, you find videos, class projects, teaching units, and other awesome projects that are, for the most part, teacher friendly.

Even better, now there are applications that allow you to download a You Tube video for playback later.

A concern—You Tube make it difficult, if not impossible, to check for copyright. I have seen many things that I am sure did not have the rights released by the owner. Yet, there it was. It was nice to see that many artists now have their own channels, where they post videos, music, and other media clips.
