Slide 2 Presented by: Jennifer Fischer EDA 624 Summer 2012 Slide
3 Launch Date: March 6 th, 2007 Goal: Provide an online community
for sharing credible instructional videos to enhance professional
development (post your own videos, watch someone elses videos etc.)
Who thought of this? Jason Smith a 14 year veteran teacher.

Slide 4 It Is Free!!!! - Teachers have access to resources (videos,
documents, audio recordings, reviews etc.) to use to enhance
instruction; that may not have been available otherwise. You can
sign up (to upload), but you do not have to create a sign up to
watch videos/embed videos etc. It Promotes 21 st Century Learning
-Students are positively benefiting from having access to Teacher
Tube. For example, students can share videos/skits they created in
their language arts class with other students around the world.
Math students could post/share Algebra songs they wrote to assist
with preparing for an upcoming assessment. Students can watch safe
videos as part of a lesson and collaborate with peers to reflect on
the brief documentary. Students can access teacher tube on their
own devices (pending school policy supports bring your own device)
to conduct their own webquest/exploration. Teachers can make their
videos private and invite just their students to watch.
Teachers/students can expand communication. Slide 5 Must Have
Access to the Internet - Some classrooms are not equipped with
student computers w/internet access; and some schools do not have
access to mobile labs/computer labs. Schools that do not have Bring
Your Own Device and limited computer access make it difficult to
utilize Teacher Tube to the best of its abilities. Authenticity -
Teacher Tube was created BY a teacher FOR teachers, however, there
is limited information on the actual person(s) who post. My advice,
preview all Teacher Tube videos and compare the information to
other credible resources. A Few Quirks. - It can take up to 24
hours to upload a video (it has to be previewed etc.). There are
advertisements included on the website (check to make sure its not
firewalled at your school). Limited content areas available (always
in the process of expanding) Slide 6 Example: You are an Algebra I
teacher and part of your students Menu assignments for the month
could be to create a song relative to the content learned in class.
Students work in small groups create their song and choose to
upload it on Teacher Tube. Other Algebra students are required to
go online and preview the song before the upcoming quiz and write
their reflection of the song given the guidelines by the teacher. I
included (on the next slide) an example of a math song I found on
teacher tube. Slide 7 Slide 8 Example: You recently missed a
faculty meeting that reviewed how to implement Moodle into the
classroom. Another teacher handed you a piece of paper with
guidelines, but you are a visual learner too. The CTE teacher in
the building suggested you visit a Moodle tutorial. Teacher tube
was the perfect solution..I included a possible link on the next
page that could be helpful. *Picture courtesy of http://moodle.com/
Slide 9 Slide 10 Example: You are an elementary school teacher. As
part of your Unit on Nouns you decided to have students participate
in station rotations. At one station students will have access to
IPods or computers with headsets. They will have to listen to the
Low Down Noun Eater Song (courtesy of Teacher Tube) and then answer
two or three questions to demonstrate their understanding of Nouns.

begin filling in the information. Slide 14 Step 3-Navigating -On
the top of the Home page is the BLUE TOOL BAR. Here you can choose
VIDEO, DOCS, AUDIO, PICTURE, PHOTOS, CHANNELS and COMMUNITYfor
faster navigation. OR feel free to utilize the SEARCH BAR and type
in a few key words of what you are looking for anti- bullying 50
states etc. Slide 15 Step 4-Uploading -Login in to your account.
-Click the UPLOAD button. Choose a relative title, you can give a
description (helpful for students/users), you can give a tag
(something to direct people to your resource). When you are done
click Continue, then click browse to locate your resource. I would
choose Private click UPLOAD, fill in location details and click
Update when finished. Slide 16
