"Over the last few years I've seen more schools opening up access to YouTube, at least to teachers, than I had in the past. YouTube for Schools has partially contributed to that trend. Tools like ViewPure and Watchkin have made using YouTube videos in schools a little less scary too. All that said, there are still lots of schools that block access to YouTube. That's why a few years ago I started to maintain a list of alternatives to YouTube."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne has updated his post about alternative websites that provide video. Back in 2010 he posted 47 websites that provide videos with descriptions. This link will take you to that list with some new sites that have come online, as well as sites that have been crossed out. He provides brief descriptions for the majority of websites.

"Excellent educational content can be found on YouTube. However, not every teacher can access YouTube in his or her classroom. That's why a few years ago I compiled a big list of alternatives to YouTube. Over the years some of those sites have shut-down, started charging a fee, or have switched into another market. So this evening I went through and eliminated some sites from the list and added a few new ones."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne has updated his list of sites that provide free videos. His top five list is below: * Next Vista * PBS Video * Explore.org * The National Film Board of Canada * Vimeo Each link provides a short description of what the site has to offer. You will also be able to access the fill list of sites through this post. Videos are a great tool to quickly engage students in learning and this list of websites as well as this search engine are great options to put in your toolbox.

I will certainly be sharing this with staff at my school! The list is thorough and gives a brief desciption of each of the sites mentioned. The list is also up-to-date, having just been checked and edited by it's original creator. |
WOW I will be defiantly be looking into the use of some of these. I am always hiding in a corner watching YouTube videos to ensure no nasty surprises before I show it to the children,

With so many schools and districts handcuffing faculty and students, there are ways to get around the censorship.
