Week 9 # 20 Teacher Tube

Teacher tube is a wealth of information available to the classroom. It was quick and painless to locate a video produced by a group of students who had visited some Mayan ruins. The quality and content were excellent, and should hold the class' interest.

Posting it to the blog was another question. Following the directions step by step did not produce the desired result. Another possibility presented itself through the share button on the teacher tube site, I was able to share the site to Blogger, and appeared to be logged in, but could not get it to display on this page. Help tried to be helpful, but again the desired result was not forthcoming, a bit frustrating. I finally downloaded the file to my desktop, then added it to the blog.

Here it is visit the Mayan Ruins and learn about the culture.

  1. Teacher Tube has a lot of great videos that help explain different concepts but I think that the real power is in how students can create and share content. Part of the digital literacy that our students expect to have the ability to share their understnading and collaborate.

  2. Your comments about TeacherTube were interesting. I didn't care for the organization of the site. Perhaps I went to an alternate universe site. I found it difficult to navigate and locate specific topics. Some of the podcasts were good.
