What do you like or dislike about YouTube? Did you find videos that would be useful for teaching and learning? Is YouTube restricted in your building?
This is my first experience using the "Tubes" on my own. For the fun of it I went to School Tube first and found it very easy to use. I found several library related videos that gave me some good ideas and a couple I want to use. I created an account and made a comment. You Tube was next and my searches turned up many, many, many videos that were boring and had no point to them. When I returned to 23 Things and searched from the links it was lots of fun and I spent way too much time playing. I also created an account here and I know I will go back here in the future even though it is blocked in my school. I can't imagine any school that would not block it. My last stop was Teacher Tube and I can see it has more features than School Tube. After creating my account I can see it will be a great place to organize everything I am interested in. I need to spend more time here but, at this time it looks like there is more monitoring on School Tube. It may be possible for a school to safely allow students to log into School Tube? When I created my account on School Tube as a teacher I was asked info to prove my position as I will be considered a monitor and can flag videos to have them removed if they are from my school. This is definitely an area I want to do some social networking on to gain as much knowledge as I can in the shortest amount of time.

I like SchoolTube and TeacherTube, too. As depicted on the site, many schools are safely using SchoolTube to post their students' video productions. TeacherTube is a nice resource for posting tutorials and such that you create for other educators or students, however I have noted that their servers can often get bogged down during school times. It’s free though, right? We are working on a server solution in Lenawee County for hosting media. Stay tuned…
