I have watched lots of videos on youtube, but have never really looked at teachertube or schooltube before. I found the video below called "A Vision of 21st Century Teachers." It was pretty interesting.
I feel that anytime a teacher can use something that was developed by another person, they should do so. By using something already developed, they are saving themselves time and allowing more time to teach their students.
I know of several teachers that have saved videos from youtube at home and then used them in their curriculum at school. I believe that sites like schooltube and teachertube should be allowed for teacher use in school. Teachers would need to research the videos in advance to keep from having a possible inappropriate video slip through.
We are in the age of technology. Our students live and breathe every aspect of technology and we as teachers need to learn to live and breathe it too. We have to keep our students engaged in what we are teaching so that they will learn and the way to do that in today's world is through technology.
