=Searching for Educational Videos=

Teacher Tube - //teachertube.com///
This site was created so teachers and students could post their own videos and avoid the YouTube link which is blocked in most schools. This is not my "go to" site because so many of the videos are posted by students. We now have a new service called My Big Campus where you can add YouTube videos for students to view in school. We also have a new service called Ensemble where you can have students upload their own videos for you to post. We will discuss these on Tuesday.

YouTube Education www.youtube.com/education
You can do a general search on YouTube or try the special education section to start. These are organized by general grade level (elementary, secondary, university) and also by subject area. You can post these on My Big Campus for students to watch in school. See Patti if you want a tip on how to download videos.

=Khan Academy www.khanacademy.org/= The focus is on Math, Science, and Economics though they are now adding Humanities videos. All videos are free and students (YOU) can take courses through Khan Academy. You can start at "Learn" at the top or "Browse" at the bottom.

educreations.com - already made videos, or you can make your own videos.

=Educational Thinkers (not subject content)= =TED-Ed www.youtube.com/user/TEDEducation= These videos are generally about education in general, not about specific lessons. Many of these are very inspiring when you need to stretch your mind or even the minds of our students to think differently

=//Richard Byrnes Educational Video Playlist// (Free Tech 4 Teachers)= This is a list of those educational videos like the ones we always see on Superintendent's Conference Days. Again, not subject lessons, just educational thinking.
