Educational Videos

Check this out! YouTube has a section just for educators filled with hundreds of educational videos. What do you think? Would you use something like this in your classroom? http://tinyurl.com/ljnkoa

Any free entertaining and educational resource is great! YouTube has so many different topics for every subject. DVD's are expensive and can only be used once for each class. YouTube educational videos provides teachers with free resources, practically unlimited topics, and be able to share and communicate globally. Best of all, since videos are constantly being updated and added, you can find the most recent and update information on a subject you are teaching. You will not have to worry about your expensive collection of DVDs becoming obsolete due to their dated content.

I think this is awesome. My favorite part of livetext is that it has those videos and other great things you can actually use in the classroom. I know one teacher that does "movie Monday" in his classes if everybody passes the quizzes he gives. He said he gets most of them from livetext which I thought was pretty awesome. I'm not sure if he knows that youtube has this.

Absolutely yes! The problem is that I cannot play anything from YouTube in my school. There must be a way around this and I think I have the solution. I will embed the YouTube videos that I want to watch in my Windows Live site. I am not sure this will work but it may, so I will check it out. If you know of any solution to this problem please let me know. As I explained in my 23 Things blogs I have been using YouTube to learn stuff for a while now and I have found very good videos about Algebra that I would like my students to watch. Right now I am using videos from http://www.learner.org/index.html. This website has tons of good educational videos, but it is limited to the website creators’ vision. I think YouTube is better because anyone can post on it; but a section just for educators is even better.
I noticed that your link was not a YouTube link but a tinyurl.com link. Is this a useful thing? This website says that the url created this way will never brake. Is this true? If it is true – how do they do it?

I only looked at a few of the videos for teaching art... There are too many. I wish there was a way to for me to show some of these to my students, that doesn't involve using a flash drive. YouTube is another site blocked by my school district.
