Teachertube

I've but been having a hold back at TeacherTube, the novel video sharing website designed specifically for teachers. I intend this is a potentially actually useful resource. It enables teachers to upload in addition to part videos, either publicly, amongst anyone who visits the site or privately inwards 'groups'. The groups characteristic enables yous to bound who tin encounter your videos in addition to could travel actually useful if yous solely wanted to part specific videos amongst your students. You tin encounter a tutorial on how to create this past times clicking here.

What's on the site?

• There are quite a few videos on at that topographic point already, but they vary inwards lineament in addition to usefulness enormously!
• They are categorised in addition to yous banking concern jibe out the diverse categories or 'channels' equally they telephone yell upwards them, past times going to this page: http://www.teachertube.com/channels.php
• There is a channel for World languages, which at the minute is pretty small-scale in addition to limited. There are too quite a few on technology in addition to i on professional development. These aren't aimed at ELT but to a greater extent than or less of them could travel quite useful.
• My favourite category was the channel dedicated to using TeacherTube as it has quite a few informative, curt videos on how to larn the best out of the site.

What's most useful?
A couplet of the most useful videos I establish were this one on how to travel Cam Studio. Cam Studio is a useful fleck of complimentary / opened upwards origin software which allows yous to tape whatever covert drive in addition to well that occurs on your computer. This is actually useful for making whatever form of video calculator tutorials for your students. You tin respect out to a greater extent than almost Cam Studio here:

And scout the video hither to encounter how it works.


Another useful video was i showing how to brand posters using Microsoft Excel. This i could fifty-fifty travel used equally a listening delineate amongst your students. If they were viewing it 'full screen', the combination of the well in addition to the video covert movements should travel plenty for them to empathize it. It's too a adept illustration of what yous tin brand using Cam Studio.
