Karen Vitek" As computers and Internet access have become more ubiquitous, and the tech savviness of our nation's youth continues to rise, it only stands to reason that the online experience has begun to evolve drastically in the last few years. The Web is rapidly changing from being simply interactive to becoming more of a user-centric and user-guided experience. Web 2.0 technologies, open source software, and the tech expertise of our nation's youth have opened up a new world of online interactivity. "

My main concern in using any of these video-sharing sites is that what makes it so powerful is also what makes it a tricky tool to use with ease. There are great discussions and commentary on many of the video clips, but those discussions are, for the most part, completely unfiltered and only mildly moderated. However, using and showing YouTube clips, then having your own classroom discussion about the clips, is an incredibly robust classroom approach. Working with students to create and upload their own videos is an even more powerful application.

So, what do these sites mean for educators? What might it offer classrooms?
-
If you're new to the site, search for a favorite musician, or a specific date, or even an old movie. There's everything from video footage of a 1940s school picnic to a frightening (and controversial) look at Hurricane Katrina issues. The most subscribed channel at YouTube is that of an English widower who muses on everything from growing up during World War II to his experiences during college.

One critical issue to keep in mind when sharing and discussing these videos with your students is media literacy, including general Internet reliability. Are the videos truly what they say they are? Might some of these clips violate copyright? What constitutes a "good" video?

<!--comment-body-->
You-Tube
<!--/content--><!--/wrap-->I think You-Tube, even in its current state, is a valuable resource for teachers. True, you have to search and review a lot to find what you can use, but when you do, it's so powerful it can't be ignored. I use clips a lot for my own classes, especially those that are asynchronous. I use them, too, for homework assignments (always have the parents sign that they know I am going to use You-Tube). I think Teacher-Tube is a wonderful idea, a place where we can post lectures, demonstrations and such to share.
Those who would paint all such media with a broad brush of distrust should remember that anything can be put into print; it's the user who elects to read it or not. The same is true for TV, so obviously SOMEONE likes the reality TV stuff!

I think that taking advantage of the excitement this kind of technology brings to our children is a worthwhile endeavor. Children love to produce, and teaching them the skills to make good productions takes advantage of their interest and provides them with a wealth of skills. See the Edutopia article "Film School: Making Movies from Storyboard to Screen" for a look at the use of video in the classroom. In addition, weaving in good media literacy and skills for navigating the new waters of the Web helps us all.
One last note: To learn more about video sharing on the Web, see the USA Today article "Video websites pop up, invite postings," the Digital Video Guru site's comparison of ten video-sharing services, and RateItAll.com's Video Sharing and Download Sites page.
Share your thoughts on video sharing sites and the potential they hold for classrooms.

I really enjoy using SchoolTube.com, a moderated video sharing site for K-12 students, teachers, and parents. They are a little more student friendly, but they've got lots of resources for teachers too.
What's neat about SchoolTube is that no videos are viewable on the site u -
