TeacherTube

  
For this week I explored an online resource for teachers called teachertube.  I saw that one of the other groups was looking at schooltube or something like that and it reminded me of the teachertube website.  I was first introduced to this website when one of my other professors showed us a video that she had uploaded to the site.  It was for music in the elementary classroom so she also showed us one other popular video on the site that used a rap to teach fractions or something like that. 
This site contains many different kinds of resources that teachers have created to share with other teachers.  There are videos, word documents, powerpoints, photos, and channels.  There was also something called teacher resources but the link was not working when I clicked on it.  It might have been because I did not sign in as a member of the site. 
This is a great site because teachers can use it to find some many great resources that already made.  For example you may want to find a more creative way to teach a subject to your class. Maybe a majority of the students in your class are really into music so you want to teach a topic they are struggling with by using a song or rap to help them remember it, but you dont feel like you can write one on your own.  This site would be a great place to look for something like  a song on a topic and much more.
