TeacherTube





is an online video-sharing community developed especially with teachers in mind. TeacherTube was designed for teachers to share videos with other teachers for student learning. These videos are visual learning tools.

With TeacherTube, community members can:

* Upload, tag and share videos worldwide.
* Upload Support Files to attach your educational Actvities, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Notes, and Other file formats to your video..
* Browse hundreds of videos uploaded by community members.
* Find, join and create video groups to connect with people who have similar interests.
* Customize the experience by subscribing to member videos, saving favorites, and creating playlists.
* Integrate TeacherTube videos on websites using video embeds or APIs.
* Make videos public or private - users can elect to broadcast their videos publicly or share them privately with those they invite.

TeacherTube makes it very easy to view videos, as well as upload videos to share with those you want to share with, or make them “public” to share your videos with the world.

To find out how-to upload your video simply watch the “Uploading Videos on TeacherTube” clip.

As an added feature to TeacherTube you can download videos to save to share later during class time. This exceptional feature will really help many teachers since 'bandwidth' is something we talk about, but really a phantom in school districts and colleges.

Thanks to Jacqui at University of Guam for sharing this site. Jackie and I have never met, but share resources. Though we only live about 75 miles apart- we have never met because we are separated by vast oceans of water.

Hi:
You are very kind to include my suggestion on your BLOG. I will do likewise on my EdTech BLOG. I made 2 very short videos about 3 years ago for a graduate class I was taking. One video was made for a class with instruction for using Macromedia Director, which I never mastered. This TeacherTube site alleviates my guilt for not becoming more proficient in its use. WHEW!

In the meantime, I include my Del.icio.us URL for you to peruse which contains the TeacherTube URL and several more. This Del.icio.us tool has been the center of my technology focus for the past few weeks. I'm really very taken with it. As I revamp my Fall classes this summer, I am working on ways to incorporate these tools (and a few others) for my undergraduate Education students.
