#21 Youtube and Teachertube

Youtube has been a great hit to socially share private videos as well as tutorials for many of the popular programs. Probably if it's not on Youtube it has not be captured on video - yet. A part of the problem for schools using Youtube is its restrictive copyright- eg yes use the video but it must be live over the school internet connection. This can cause slow video, dropping of connection, etc. But if you want too use a particular piece of video it is a way to go. I would like to see an updated search function on the site. Full length movies are now appearing on Youtube (limited number, but a start).

Teachtube is much smaller in number of videos but has different copyright conditions & the videos are educationally based. Teachers/students need encouragement to post their videos here.
