  "...if you're not doing what needs to be done, then you should get out of the way to make room for someone who will." This statement assumes everyone who uses digital technology "know what needs to be done." After viewing many videos during our class I believe there is a direction we should be going in, but nobody really 'knows' what needs to be done. Just like every politician and irrate blogger seems to have the answer. The "get with us or get out of the way" statments concern me the most. If a student doesn't subscribe to what we're teaching do we then shuffle them off to alternate school? No, we try something different whether it's Web 2.0 or something else. It's what we call the 'art' of teaching. Whether we're teaching students or educators, as long as we're willing to try something new, not just jump on the bandwagon, then our students will learn to adjust and be flexible also.

  I don't think we can let educators off the hook. I feel like some just ignore where the world is going and feel save and comfortable in what they know. Well, who isn't. We don't become better teachers, friends, parents, or people by keeping things to same. You have to change and adapt in order to be successful. We aren't just teaching students. We are preparing the future generation. Those students will become all of things we are and we know - if we don't prepare them for what their world WILL look like, what are we doing? Are we even doing our job? We must be held accountable.

  No, we should not allow colleges who train our teachers off the hook either. We need to support and train teachers in these various tools. We also need to make sure they have the hardware was well as our kids. All too often these authors think everyone including kids have access to computers/internet 24/7. Some of our teachers do not have this access in their homes.

  I also like this paragraph. The idea of life-long learnining has to embrace change. I understand that adapting is difficult because it requires teachers to constantly reconstruct their teaching. However, I agree that this needs to take place in order for education to effectively meet the needs of students.

If you’re a teacher / administrator / librarian / education professor that somehow ‘doesn’t even realize [yet] that there’s a decision to be made,’ should you even be working in a school or university? Don’t our children and our school systems need and deserve someone who’s in a different place than you are?

It’s about our students: our children and our youth who deserve at the end of their schooling experience to be prepared for the world in which they’re going to live and work and think and play and be. That’s the obligation of each and every one of us. No educator gets to disown this.

Free Technology for Teachers: 47 Alternatives to Using YouTube in the Classroom - 2 views

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! :-)
