EDUC 675

Teachertube

1. Ease of Use:
Teachertube was very easy to use. The links were all well labeled. The only problem was the advertisements that popped up after you chose what you wanted to do. You had to hit a skip button every time.

2. Login/Sign-up:
There were no issues with login or sign-up. Very easy, just filled out a couple of questions.

3. Ways tool can be used in Education:
This tool can be very helpful for an educator. There are many resources to choose from. You can upload videos, pictures, or audio to enhance a lesson. It also will store the videos or pictures you use so you can use them more than once or from year to year. There are also worksheets and lessons that you can print. Everything is separated by grade, subject, or events. It also have teacher resources available such as calendars and conferences tips. There is something for everything that you would want to do.

You also could share what you have done in your own classroom. You have options of either sharing with just yourself or the world (which they recommend).

4. Fees/Cost:
When you sign up, you get a free 7 day trial. After that, it is $49.95 for a subscription.
Teachertube could be a real benefit for any educator. Teachers would be able to not only show students videos and pictures online, but could encourage them to make their own to post online in a teacher friendly way. The only potential con is the price.

  1. While TeacherTube has many educational videos, YouTube seems to have more interesting educational videos, and YouTube is free.
