Technology #2- Teachertube

Teacher tube is an excellent resource for both Teachers and students in the classroom. This site is geared towards teachers because it was created by educators and teachers. With the features included in on the site such as: uploading support files to attach to my educational activities, tests, lesson plans, & notes makes this another valuable tool to use in my classroom.

I can use Teacher tube to enhance my lessons and activities in my classroom by finding educational videos on this website and use them as an introduction to a lesson for instance about fractions . By showing them this video I will capture my students’ attention and allow me to give a mini lesson plan on fractions with the students engaged in the medium of computers that they are very familiar using. I am so excited to use this medium in my future classroom because it will enhance my learning of the subjects I teach and enhance learning for my students.

Lastly, my students will be using this medium in the classroom with my help and discretion. Older students can use the site on their own at home but I don’t think it is likely because it was designed for teachers.
