You want to use a video... What if your school does not allow the use of YouTube?
Here are some alternatives:
- John Locker, subtitled the "Online Learning Network," has videos on a variety of subjects. They can be embedded into a web page. Use the search facility and categories. http://johnlocker.com/
- TeacherTube, the alternative to YouTube, has videos addressing various topics. http://www.teachertube.com/
- SchoolsTube, like TeacherTube, is intended to be an educational substitute for YouTube. It's relatively new, so there's not much there yet, but it is very promising indeed, and includes audio too. http://www.schoolstube.com/
- SchoolTube, which has lots of videos and pictures for use in the curriculum, as well as lesson plans and other resources. http://www.schooltube.com/

I like the idea of teacher tube becuase the name itself shows it's more educational oriented. The idea of You tube is more liesure and I feel that is why a lot of schools ban it's use. Could definitely use this info. Thanks.

I think that as long as students and teachers do not abuse the privledge of videos in class, than they should be available and used. Often I have seen the video go on and the heads go down.
One suggestion that I have for showing films in class is to always have a follow-up assignment or quiz. I tell the students to take notes on the video and then they can use those notes on the quiz. The kids may not enjoy the film, but at least they watch it because they know that they will be given a grade on it. The students also respond well becuase the quiz will be open notebook. Hope this helps.
