Another curated, organized collection of educational videos.   Curated by teachers, wiki-style, these videos are assigned a age group and are organized by subject and topic.  This site began in Mississippi and still has some excellent Mississippi-focused content.  Many of the videos are hosted on YouTube.  Videos on this site WILL be viewable by students on the student network.

The Teacher Channel aims to provide innovative videos and resources to educators to meet its goals of building teacher-driven professional learning, deepening and improving opportunities for teacher learning, and elevating and celebrating teachers in society. The website includes a growing collection of videos that focus on the Common Core State Standards, some of which focus on the background of the Common Core in certain grades/subjects, while others highlight instructional practices aligned to specific standards. 

This is a "dump" for cool science-related videos. There are many good videos here that would be helpful in science class. Be careful, though, because some of these videos may not be appropriate for the classroom.

This short video would be excellent for prompting discussion or student research for 6-8 grade science students.  Be sure to check out the other great short videos from the "Its Okay to be Smart" YouTube channel as well.  Remember, students are not currently able to access YouTube from their devices, so you will need to project this video for the class if you want to use it.  

This is an excellent collection of short videos demonstrating real classrooms with real teachers and real students.   There are currently 157 clips in the Common Core topic across all grades and subject areas.  There are great teaching ideas here. The videos of lessons also often include the materials for the lesson such as lesson plans, handouts, slides, etc.

Create your own "twitter wall" to project a back channel for your next PD session or event.   This site makes it easy to follow the conversation on twitter around a hashtag of your choice.   The Video-Twitterwall is also interesting, allowing one to embed a video from Youtube or another video service into your twitterwall
