Youtube, Teachertube

Youtube and Teachertube are two very useful internet sources for educational purposes. They also, both have similar qualities. I found Youtube and Teachertube easy to use and I definitely plan on using them once I am a teacher!

Youtube is an online media source of videos from all over, consisting of numerous topics. As a teacher, you could put up your own videos of a lecture or something you and your class did one day. There are also videos from other teachers on the website. While this is not a predominately popular source for teachers to communicate, it is a great source if you are looking to find out “How To” do something.

I found teachertube fun and interesting! There are videos from teachers from all over. On the website are millions of videos that teachers have put up. While some of the videos consist of lectures, some are of classes doing activities together while they are at school. My favorite video is the Math rap. This video is of a teacher rapping about fractions, multiplication and division. The song was really catchy and I am sure that her students are amazing at fractions because of it. The math rap is just one example of the kinds of cleaver videos you will find on teachertube. I have to say that after looking at both of these websites I am encouraged to continue using them once I am a teacher!
