Teachers: Are you on the hunt for YouTube-like videos that you can use for instructional purposes in your classroom? Do you want to have your students create projects and view videos that will help them learn academic content? As you know, there are many educational videos on YouTube (and other sites), but these sites also have inappropriate videos... those you do NOT want your students to access. WatchKnow may be the answer for you. It is a new wiki portal that categorizes short videos by topic. There is also an age filter; search for only those that are appropriate for the age in years of your students!
This is a community where users make it better by contributing, so be sure to register for an account and add videos as you find those that are useful for your classroom. Sources could be YouTube, TeacherTube, GoogleVideo, National Geographic, HowCast, SlideBoom, SchoolTube, Graspr, 5 Minute LifeVideopedia, InternetArchive, and eHow.
The advisory panel includes experienced teachers and experts in educational media and library science. This group reviews media and moderates the online community.
Enjoy!
