Teacher Tube

I really enjoyed checking out Teacher Tube and Schools Tube. I think they are very valuable resources for the classroom. Though You Tube has many excellent videos it also has many things that children should not see, so it is dangerous to use in the classroom unless you as the teacher has strict control over what is being viewed. Teacher Tube has tons of interesting videos on many topics, and the students can go to the sight on their own without worrying what they will end up seeing. Schools Tube does not have much on it yet, but with time it should also be a valuable sight for the classroom. These are so important because they are a way to enrich learning of many topics, to stimulate new ideas, and to keep informed on current events. Many of today's students are visual learners who have grown up getting information primarily from the computer and television. These sights allow you as a teacher work with the student's strengths and give them the instant information they are so used to. I am excited to use these sights to effectively enrich learning in my future classroom.
