I had a colleague ask me today about the best way to share video book reviews done by his students. I know in the real world when you want to share a video the obvious choice is YouTube. However, when you are a school teacher this may not be an option. I know many school districts that have YouTube blocked by their filter. I don't see the point of posting something at school that students can't view at school. It my mind it defeats the purpose. The best alternative I have found is to use SchoolTube. There is a fairly easy review process when you sign up to make sure you are a real educator at a real school, but it is not that intrusive. The positive side of this process is that it filters out most of the junk your students may be exposed to on YouTube. Here is a link to my SchoolTube channel if you want to check it out. In the past I have used SchoolTube to post videos from a project based assessment we did on the novel Night by Elie Wiesel. I am still so impressed and proud of the video I am posting below that one of the students made in that class, enjoy!
