TeacherTube – video in education

Check out TeacherTube. If you want to find out what’s going on in the TeacherTube community, then jump straight across to the TeacherTube blog launched in March. TeacherTube is the YouTube of educators, and recently it launched a channel for student-created videos. You can find loads of resources that have been uploaded by teachers from around the world. techtips.jpg

For instance, the TechTips ScreenCast Episode 5: Collaborative Research provides information on how Del.icio.us social bookmarking has been used for a student research project. The result is a website aggregating the research results of the very best websites on Mesopotamia that students had found, with descriptive phrases added to each bookmarked site.
