Do you know that most resources on the web that teachers can use to improve student learning are free? Yes, FREE! One of my goals is to find them and share this valuable information with you.
http://www.teachertube.com/ This is a version of the popular video site You Tube but focus on educational materials. You will not find inappropriate materials for your students, but even if you do, you can “flag” it and will be immediately removed. How can you as a teacher use this free resource?
1) Register and open an account
http://www.teachertube.com/signup.php
2) After you follow the account creation process (don’t forget to send the confirmation e-mail), log in and click the tab named “Groups” and click the button on the right column named “Create A Group”
(TIP: Make it a class activity and have your students voting to choose one)
3) You can create a new group by subject area, by semester, or by grade.
Videos can be use to document science projects, lectures, convert Power Point presentations to video (more on this on next posting) or create a movie as class activity using simple editing software’s like Windows Movie Maker or Mac’s I Movie.
If you don’t have a video camera, remember most portable phones and digital photo cameras can be use to record a video.
