I really liked this site's idea of making visual ideas online. I would like to make more visuals for my students. Also, I believe that they like to make visuals as well. This site was a little difficult to navigate and the choices were some what limited. However, it is in the beta stage. As with all Web 2.0 tools there will be more changes in the future. So I will definitely be coming back later to see what has been updated.

This article talks about many different resources available to teachers to use in the classroom when YouTube is not available as some school districts block it. The only one I have used is Hulu because I enjoy catching up on television shows online, but looking over this list makes me realize there are many tools for showing videos to students. I think it would be easier to use one of these instead of showing an old video tape on the television for several reasons including you could post the links online so students who miss class can watch them which is not always possible when you use regular videos.

Great lists. I have used a few of these sites. I have watched Ted Talks several times, but I tend to use it for my personal growth rather than in the classroom. How Stuff Works and The Future Channel are both great sites to use in the classroom. I have used both as a launch into a lesson. I have The Future Channel set up to notify me when new videos are available.

I wish the title didn't say "alternatives to youtube" but rather, "47 video sites - OTHER THAN Youtube." Youtube is powerful for its content, most of which is not available on the other sites. This harkens back to when schools would say, "We block youtube but we have teacher tube." It's not about having a 'tube.' It's about the content. Maybe I'm picking too much, but it drives me up a wall! :-)

The National Archives has created a new web site to help educators teach with primary-source documents. The site, called DocsTeach, not only lets teachers explore thousands of documents in a variety of media from the National Archives holdings, but it also includes online tools to help teachers combine these materials and create engaging history activities that students can access over the internet.

"slowly eliminate traditional lectures, replacing them with online materials and group work the university calls "small-group discovery experience"

"YouTube videos in class, calls it "21st century learning" and says because video technology is such a part of the students' lives it makes sense to incorporate it into the educational experience."

"Digital Bytes teaches teens digital citizenship through student-directed, media-rich activities that tackle real-world dilemmas. Teens learn from the experiences of their peers then create collaborative projects that voice their ideas for making smart, safe choices online."

This is a great resource for use with students.
