Another week closer to BREAK!! Today's quest is another explore opportunity

TeacherTube officially launched on March 6, 2007. Its goal is to provide an online community for sharing instructional videos. They seek to fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, schools, and home learners. It is a site to provide anytime, anywhere professional development with teachers teaching teachers. As well, it is a site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill.
Many of us are frustrated when we find something that we would like to share on YouTube only to find that our system block access to the site--Here is another option-A site by and for teachers!!
So--go to Teachertube.com--Search your content area or interest area--Find something that you like or would use in class -Send me the video's name and I will compile them for the BLOG.

I encourage you to create an account and become a part of their community. With the TEACHERTUBE community you can:
*Upload, tag and share videos worldwide.
*Upload Support Files to attach your educational Actvities, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Notes, and Other file formats to your video.
*Browse hundreds of videos uploaded by community members.
*Find, join and create video groups to connect with people who have similar interests.
*Customize the experience by subscribing to member videos, saving favorites, and creating playlists.
*Integrate TeacherTube videos on websites using video embeds or APIs.
*Make videos public or private - users can elect to broadcast their videos publicly or share them privately with those they invite.
*Most importantly, TeacherTube community members are a major part of the evolution of the site. Members are encouraged to not only upload educationally relevant videos, but also to make constructive comments and use the rating system to show appreciation for videos of value to one as an educator or learner. Users also have the ability to preserve the integrity of the site by flagging inappropriate videos. TeacherTube staff review flagged sites and will remove any inappropriate posts. With more collegial commentary and discussion through messaging and responses, the quality of this resource will only increase.
