Youtube for teachers

I was watching a tv spot on the use of technology in schools, and the guy mentioned a website I visited a few months ago but had forgotten about: Teachertube. It's just like Youtube, but with a focus on education. The videos have the area of study (science, literature, etc) in the description. Many of the videos were made by students (lots of children's and teens' voices in the narrartions, which is a good break from the massively adult-centered conversations in the book), and many were projects kids did for school and which the teachers have uploaded, which could serve as inspiration for you to encourage your students to prepare a similar presentation of their own.

Hope this is helpfull!

Later!
