"Teacher Tube"
How many of you have explored "Teacher Tube," the education-based version of "You Tube?"
Teacher Tube is a web 2.0 tool that can be used to address students and teachers alike. Videos are created and posted for direct instruction to students. Other video/visual presentations are created specifically for staff development purposes.
By virtue of its educational/internet-based framework, Teacher Tube is a web 2.0 tool that teaches, promotes and exhibits web 2.0 skills. This site affords educators the opportunity to compete, creatively and technologically, on the level typically embraced by today's techno-savvy students and the world wide web community at large.
Learn more about Teacher Tube by checking out this blog: http://www.teachertube.blogspot.com/
Then click the Teacher Tube link to explore the variety of video posts available on the site. I will share some links to specific video posts tomorrow.
This blog has been created to post responses, reflections and comments resulting from participation in CSLA's (California School Library Association) School Library Learning 2.0 program, running from June 1 - Sept. 1.

Hi fellow summer blogger!
Thanks for the info on Teacher Tube. It looks like fun and perhaps something we can get to in our fair county. Do you know if we can pull it up at school?
I am frustrated by the blocking of Google video and You Tube, as I have come to feel we should be teaching kids to navigate those sites, rather than block them. How many teachers ask us "can you show me how to download and show this You Tube video for my classroom?" And that opens up copyright violations. I know that it takes close supervision when kids have access, and I know that the courts are not on the side of free speech these days, but I can't help but feel this is our kid's world and we, as media specialists, need to be a part of it. What do you think? Is this something we need to discuss as a group?
Pat commented on my Teacher Tube post dated July 2. In addition to noting that Teacher Tube really looks like fun, she expressed her frustration at our inability to access Google Video and You Tube in our schools. In fact, I was not able to access Teacher Tube at school when I last tried some months ago (prior to AMTR and EOG's). I stopped trying and now continue to explore the site from home.
Like Pat, I think that the district's blocking policies could be a timely topic for discussion. It would be interesting to see what our fellow GCS School Library Learning 2.0 bloggers think about it. I also wonder how many of us have played with You Tube, My Space, etc., especially those of us in the middle and high schools since I am assuming that elementary students would not typically be using these sites? Am I being naive on this point?
If we really are 21st century library/media educators, don't we need to be in stride with our students as they navigate the web? Isn't this the reason we are engaged in this summer learning project about Web 2.0 technologies?
Hey friends! The Teacher Tube site sounds neat - I'm going to take a look at it. Actually I think elementary schools could use Youtube as well. I found a really cool short video - obviously homemade - but still well done that showed a butterfly life cycle. We raise them in our classrooms but somehow the chrysallis forming and opening always seem to happen when your back is turned or the kids are out of the classroom and this video captured them!
