Slideshare, You Tube & Teacher Tube in the classroom Rachel Boyd Marlborough TOD April 2009 http://rachelboyd.wikispaces.com

You Tube... Is a video sharing service that lets users upload files to You Tube servers where they are available online. Streams more than 100 million videos per day.

Invention of the Year 2006

For thousands of teachers, YouTube is more than a modern day video store... it's a chance to redefine traditional education by engaging students in a format more tailored to the Modern Age. http://www.convergemag.com/edtech/Is-Education-Ready-For-YouTube.html

Humans are deeply influenced by video, particularly those with an emotional anchor in their past. The effective use of video can give us breakthrough moments with our students. will become “Dead Tube” for educators if they don’t wake up. Vicki Davis http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2008/02/favorite-inspirational-youtube-clips.html

http://www.youtube.com/edu Launched in March 2009 You Tube Edu aggregates thousands of free lectures from over a hundred universities across U.S.A, including MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford and many more.

Similar to YouTube, Teacher Tube is a video file-sharing site where educators are encouraged to share lesson plans, tips and other instruction-based films.

Teacher Tube... Is an online community. Provides anytime, anywhere professional development for teachers. A site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill.

Teacher Tube Teacher Tube is a great resource for finding new ideas to introduce concepts or teach skills in your classroom programmes.

Teacher Tube Channels You can browse videos by channel, for example maths, science, writing, reading and even Teacher Tube tutorials.

Overcoming Internet Problems You cannot always rely on a video on the Internet to play perfectly and fluidly when you want to use it in the classroom. A great option to avoid this, and also allow you to keep the video on your computer is to download it for your own personal use.

Slideshare allows both educators and students to share their work with their peers. Educators can use Slideshare during lesson preparation to find resources based on their current topic. Students can use Slideshare to share their work with their classmates or parents/caregivers.

Slideshare for Professionals Slideshare is great for professionals like teachers. You can effectively build a digital portfolio to share with peers across the world. Your lessons can reach and teach others worldwide!

Didn’t go to a conference?? No worries! Accessing presentations through would have to be some of the best professional development around! ...best of all, it is completely

Teachers no longer need to spend hours reinventing the wheel. By surfing the right sites, you’re likely to find material to support your teaching programmes. ...and best of all, they’re completely free and ready for you to take advantage of!

So how could you use You Tube, Teacher Tube or Slideshare to support/enhance your teaching?

Let’s go for a surf... Sites to investigate on: http://tinyurl.com/marlboroughict (scroll to bottom) You may want to try to: ~locate a useful video for your teaching purposes ~embed it in your blog or wiki ~download it for future class play back

A final thought...

Herding a class of students down to the computer lab to watch a few catchy videos has no more learning benefit than turning a class of students onto the Internet for a half hour of random surfing. The power of YouTube only is activated when the teacher has a clear idea of how a specific video clip can be used to introduce a concept or theme, instigate a discussion, or serve as a writing prompt.
