You’ve probably visited YouTube, that online flea market of videos and clips, rich in diversity, full of treasures, with room for every kind of taste.

What would YouTube-like sharing look like if educators tried it?

It would look like TeacherTube. At this site educators share materials they’ve prepared for their classes. Math teachers rap concepts; English teachers model literature circles; physics teachers use musical instruments to demonstrate resonance and wavelength. If it relates to education, it’s available here, or will be soon.

Watching other teachers share their talents and expertise is inspiring and humbling. They’ve not only presented great ideas, they’ve also taken time to create a video, add production values, and share with the world. The videos are done with style, with creativity, and, sometimes, with a wry sense of humor.

This article from Edutopia also explores TeacherTube. Check it out! Have you used a TeacherTube video? Have you created one?
