As the author states:
While many teachers begin by creating their own content and videos, most start by sifting through free online sources. The amount of available information out there is staggering.Here are a few of the curated video sites that Schneider highlighted:
YouTube users across the globe upload 48 hours of content every minute. And a google search for “science video” yields over 4 billion results!
Fortunately, there are some great websites and services that take the guesswork out of finding and sorting educational video content.
- The Futures Channel: Based on the goal of using new media technologies to create a channel between scientists, enginners, explorers, visionaries and learners, The Future Channel partners with schools to provide these high-quality digital learning resources.
- EduTube: Launched in 2008, EduTube focuses on popular and high quality educational videos that are sorted by EduTube index – a measure of quality, popularity and educational value.
- Edutopia Video: Edutopia’s large video library is sortable by topic and by grade level.
Thank you for some great resources! I'm always on the lookout for new and powerful supports to share with classroom teachers.
