YouTube Alternatives

Though YouTube is not available for use at Durfee, there is still a wealth of educational video sites available for teachers to use. Below are descriptions of what I think are some of the better sites, but if you know of others, feel free to contact me and I'll be sure to add them.
  1. School Tube
    This is a website dedicated to the sharing of videos created by students and teachers. School Tube allows teachers and schools to create their own channels for sharing their students' works. School Tube also provides lesson plans for using video in the classroom.
  2. Teacher Tube
    Teacher Tube provides user generated videos for teachers by teachers. Many of the videos feature teachers sharing lesson plans in action. Other videos don't have teachers or students in them, but still contain educational lessons.
  3. Khan Academy
    This site offers more than 1800 mathematics and science tutorial videos online. There are even some videos covering topics in the humanities now as well.
  4. NeoK12
    This is an outstanding collection of educational videos, lessons, quizzes, games and puzzles. Selections on the homepage are broken up by subject.
  5. Vimeo
    Though not as much content as can be found at YouTube, Vimeo nonetheless offers a slew of videos that may interest teachers, all in very high quality. Vimeo also has all of the sharing options found on YouTube
  6. WatchKnow
    WatchKnow has indexed over 50,000 educational videos, placing them into a directory of over 5,000 categories. The videos are available without any registration or fees to teachers in the classroom and to students at home 24/7. Users can search for videos by subject and age level.
