We’ve all heard of YouTube, right?

It’s the place where all the cool kids are videoblogging…

Well, there’s even a TeacherTube where all the cool teachers are videoteaching. Take a look at a few fun videos from other professional educators:

I recommend that you spend some time at TeacherTube. The technology is getting better and better all the time - this type of learning content is a possability for any teacher or school administrator - real simple!

Just last week at my school we created our own OAT preparation, a TV video knock-off called, “Are You Smarter than a Sixth Grader?” We used student News Crews to work the video equipment, had a live studio audience, classmates, contestants, and a student host to create a simple video, recorded live without editing. It was great!

C’mon teachers. Let’s get out there and make some videos!
