Thing 14

I have used teacher tube before. It is a great tool to utilize when you want to show students historical footage. Some of videos are incredibly hoakie. The link that I embedded was one that I heard was on Teacher Tube. (By the way, the comments on this video are extremely inappropriate. I would check out any video before I showed it t omake sure that comments were appropriate.) I never could nor never would show it to my students, but I looked at if for production value. All of the videos that I saw on Teacher Tube were very low tech as opposed to the more polished videos that You Tube has. Granted, You Tube has plenty of amatuer videos, but it is obvious that Teacher Tube was designed as a teaching toll and not just another way to seek 15 minutes of fame. I think that with some very basic video equipment a teacher could produce and post student work fairly easily.

I have come across some items on You Tube that I wanted to share with my students or other coworkers. I'm glad to know that there is a way to show those on my computer.
