I know that we talked about this resource quite a while ago, but I only recently had time to check it out. What a fantastic site! When I was teaching in the classroom I remember thinking, "If I could only find a clip to show _____." Unfortunately, if our school library didn't contain anything (which most of the time it didn't), I was out of luck. I tried to create my own visuals and trust me, I am not a great artist. I didn't always have much success!
Teacher Tube eliminates that problem in a number of cases. I tried searching various topics that I remember covering in the classroom. I found a pretty good resource for almost everything I typed. The great part is, you can be fairly selective about what type of clip you use, especially the length.
The other nice part about Teacher Tube is the learning opportunities for teachers that are available on the site. I was able to find a 23 minute video discussing and demonstrating the use of literature circles in the classroom. Professional development in the convenience of my home at any hour that I choose. How great is that?

ReplyDeleteIt really is a great resource, I used it once while I was student teaching, and my cooperating teacher had no idea what it was, so I helped her. Pretty awesome!
