"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.

"One of the great things about teaching today is the wealth of educational videos that are available on the web. No longer do we have to flip through catalogs, order a VHS cassette, wait for it to arrive, and hope that it is as good as the catalog made it sound. Now we can quickly access and screen educational videos. In fact, there is so much available that the challenge is sifting through it all."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne has put together a great list of 10 websites that provide excellent videos for science. Sites include: * The Spangler Effect from Steve Spangler Science (demonstrations of science experiments) * Gooru - a website that has been mentioned in this Scoop.it. "Gooru is a service that aims to provide teachers and students with an extensive collection of videos, interactive displays, documents, diagrams, and quizzes for learning about topics in math and science." If you have not taken the opportunity to check out Gooru it is worth your time. * MIT Tech TV which has thousands of videos. More information on these sites and seven additional sites is available in the post!

"Over the last month I've facilitated a handful of workshops on the topic of video creation in the classroom. One of the points that I always try to stress in those workshops is that the focus of most student video projects should be on developing and delivering clear story lines. Yes, it is great if students use slick transitions and special effects, but those don't mean a thing if the video doesn't have a clear purpose (unless that purpose is to demonstrate editing skills)."
Beth Dichter's insight:
How can we keep our students engaged and provide them with opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of content? Allow them to create a video! Richard Byrne's post discusses this option and provides many resources to assist you. He also discusses this as a classroom teacher whom is not teaching video production. One link will take you to a page Video Projects. This page provides resources that will help you learn: * Designing and Developing Video Projects which discusses 5 video projects that you might choose to implement. * Today's Activities which provides a variety of options as to how you might introduce this to your class. He also provides a list of questions to help you plan the project. The sections provided are: * Planning the Student Video Project * Assesing the Student Video Project: Pre-Production * Asessing the Student Video Project: Post-Production You will then find resources in the following areas (with each one briefly descibed): * Free Video Creation Tools * Sound and Music Sources * Image Sources * Sharing Videos The original post also includes two sample videos. One is embedded within the post: Black Death in 90 Seconds, created by a teacher. There is a link to one created by a student, My Name is Michael, whom "explains what life is like living with Autism."

If you are looking for websites that provides video resources in the area of social studies check out this post. Richard Byrne provides a list of ten websites, stating "As a Social Studies teacher, I have used all but one of these sources in my classroom at least once and most of them I've used multiple times." The list includes: * Hip Hop Videos - "a series of short, upbeat lectures on topics in US History and World History." * PBS Video - high quality documentaries. * History for Music Lovers "is a great place to find music videos about dozens of topics in World History." Check out the post for an additional seven sites!

Has a list of 10 resource sites for students and teachers that include educational videos, interactive displays, documents, and documentaries related to social studies and the best part this is all free. This allows teachers, students, and parents to use these resources to get a better understanding about social studies.

Here is presented a great set of online resources that link to pertinent videos used in social studies classrooms. I personally have used many of these sites in my teaching, but this list provides greater depth and explnation to the sites. Check out this post to find some of the best social studies videos sites that can be utilized in your digital classroom. |
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.
