Teacher Tube v's YouTube



What is Teacher Tube?


Teacher Tube is an online, video sharing website which allows teachers to share educational resources such as; videos, audio, documents, photographs, groups and blogs. Teacher tube has 520, 000+ members and 200, 000 members.



What is You Tube?


YouTube is an online, video sharing website which allows anyone around the world to share, upload and view videos. You must be 18+ to be a member.


For teachers of the 21st Century, I feel it is vital that teacher tube is used more commonly in the classroom rather than YouTube. YouTube, yes, can be a valuable resources when the mentor teacher searches thou roughly. If teachers directly hook up to YouTube on the web, anything such as advertisements can pop up (which could be advertising anything) which I have seen happen.

YouTube is full of videos that do not relate to educational concepts what so ever.

Teacher Tube is full of great resources, you also just have to search.

My vote: Teacher Tube!
