YouTube & Alternatives
YouTube would be my go to site for finding videos for use
in the classroom but it does have its limitations. When you
find a good educational video that you want to share with
your students you get frustrated because of the ad's and
other features around it. I have provided some resources
to assist with youtube videos and some alternatives. The
following is a list of free video resources that I hope you
can use and find useful.
