School Tube

School Tube: http://www.schooltube.com/

  • School Tube provides educators with professional development and resources for instructional technology, and classroom teaching and learning tools for best practices of video and digital story production. Much like You Tube, but School Tube focuses on tools for teaching and learning.
  • Very easy to use and navigate around the site. School Tube includes tutorials and how-to videos on uploading, moderating and embedding videos. There are resources for video production or Window and Macs.
  • Teachers can search video library for videos that can be integrated into lesson plans, and the lesson plans for Videomaker Magazine, Windows Moviemaker, Photostory, iMovie and other video making tools. Lesson plans are related from beginner to advances, and use a variety of topics, such as newscasts, writing, audio, editing, vocabulary and music videos.
  • This tool is well worth learning about, because it includes many other tools and opportunities for students of all ages, levels and learning abilities, and for teachers to use web-based technologies for both delivering content and lesson plans. I will use this tool for the online Moodle classes I design and teach for Cornell, and have my adult students produce a video or digital story board for their final presentation project. These videos will be used to teach through our community outreach programs.

  1. This too sounds like a great cite for teachers. It seems to cover just about everything. I am especially interested in learning more about embedding videos and producing videos. I would like to add more of the "production" step in the media education of my students. It sounds like this site is just the kind of simple, user-friendly help I need to be able to better help my students. I will also take a look at the videos and clips it offers for classroom use. Thanks!
