We are all familiar with YouTube and some of you may be familiar with TeacherTube. But have you heard of HotChalk and SchoolTube?
HotChalk is a free site for teachers, students and parents. This site offers access to decades of news archives, including direct news footage and discussion opportunities to be used in the classroom from NBC. The site also provides training videos and other professional resources for teachers.
SchoolTube is another source for educational videos. It has been endorsed by the National Association of Elementary School Principals for promoting a safe media sharing across the country. There are numorous categories to search through, but what sets this site apart from others is the category dedicated to elementary schools.
