Video Resources for the Classroom - Youtube tools and others!

Yes, there are times when a quick video segment can demonstrate a topic or example much better than me trying to explain it!  There are many free resources out there that are available and teacher/student safe.  Of course many like Youtube - who can deny it.....a spot to find video clips from just about everything imaginable!  But those ads can be distracting, and at times, inappropriate.  To solve that a teacher must have is quietube.   A simple bookmarklet that takes the video and puts it on a backdrop of all white or all black.  It's so easy.  A must for any Youtube users!



Of course there are other resources out there - try teachertube.com.

This used to be a slower version of youtube videos that had been approved, a bipass to youtube being blocked.  It is now a little faster with a lot more content.  Worth a try!

Another site is WatchKnowLearn.  Free, educational videos only, easy to navigate.  Somewhat limited on specific topics, but never the less - a good place to try!
