Last few years I heard teachers using teachertube for science, social studies, math and ELA. I think youtube, teachertube and schooltube can all find place in a classroom as long as we check for appropriate content before presenting it. How would I use video clips from these sites? I could easily use them as a short intro into a lesson or as a part of lesson. E.g. find a video that shows how to add fractions with different denominators and show it to students. Follow this with a discussion on addition and subtraction of fractions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRP6FwMflTc&feature=related. Youtube is convenient since I can pause a video at any point in case we need to discuss the topic.
I really like following video that would most likely make an impact on middle school students. Take a look. http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=127460&title=Prefixes_Suffixes_and_Roots_Rap_Instrumental&vpkey= Video that shows rap about root words. Wonderful intro to lesson.
