What is TeacherTube?

TeacherTube is an online community for sharing instructional videos. It allows teachers to find educational videos to share with their students with the peace of mind that it is a safe place to go. This site can be used for professional development for teachers, or teachers can post videos to help students learn a concept or skill. The site was designed by teacher Jason Smith, and his brother Adam. As a member of TeacherTube, you are able to access videos as well as upload your own educationally relevant videos. These videos are a great addition to any unit to help students learn about a concept.

Ways to use TeacherTube:


 * [|The Life Cycle of a Pumpkin]
 * For a fall unit, I searched for videos relating to pumpkins, season, etc. The video "A Life Cycle of a Pumpkin" came up. I would be able to utilize this video as part of my unit. I could show the video and the students could create their own life cycle of a pumpkin either by drawing or using pumpkin seeds and other multimedia to create it.
 * [|Artic Walrus]
 * This is an example of student work uploaded by a teacher. This could be used as an example of a project for students to do. The students would create a powerpoint and record themselves reading it. This is able to be uploaded and shared with others.

I have heard of YouTube and SchoolTube, but never TeacherTube. Your explanation really made me want to learn more. I wasn't able to get to the website using your link, but it was easy to find on my own. Well done! Kira Swinton

Lisa, This is really neat! I have heard of TeacherTube before but never tried to access it. After reading your review and clicking on your link I had a little fun navigating my way through the site and finding videos relating to what I'm teaching in class. I found a lot of videos that will help with my instruction in class, a few videos to share with my students and a few videos that offered new ideas for projects. I have always tried to search for ideas on YouTube, which has typically ended in frustration--so thanks for the insight! Question--students have direct access to this, right? Are there people that manage the site to ensure that students don't post inappropriate material? Laura Hoegh
