Teacher Tube
www.teachertube.com
The teacher version of You Tube can be a great resource for you and your students! You can find awesome videos to supplement your lessons. There are videos on every topic for all grade levels. Once you find the video you can link it to a blog or a PowerPoint. Check it out! WAIT!
One cool feature about TeacherTube is it allows users to download and convert videos for convenient use in your classrooms.
We are well aware that downloading during the day can be next to impossible...SO you have two options. #1: Copy and paste the URL and send it to Dena or Lynn and we will download for you and save in the N-drive Media Folder for your use. #2 Go to the N-drive Media Folder and open TeacherTube download instructions to complete the process on your own.
Here is a link to example of videos on Math Raps.
