Thing 20- YouTube, TeacherTube and Zamzar

Before this school year, I was unaware of all the different media resources and had only used YouTube. I have been using YouTube for a few years now. Having access to several media resources is key. There were several times, this school year, where I tried to view or download a particular video for my class and couldn't. A majority of the time this problem was solved by my technology specialist giving me a URL from TeacherTube or another media resource that allowed me to access the same video, but actually get it to play.

Since I am the ISS teacher at my campus I chose to embed a video on Classroom Discipline.

  1. I agree these are great tools to teach with and teach students how to use with discretion. There is such a wealth of material at our fingertips.

  2. I bet in your particular situation anything that can be taught/presented/used visually brings about more success than just print!

    P.S. don't forget that Zamzar will convert those YouTube videos as they continue to be blocked.
