= Thing 14- TeacherTube =

We have all heard of video sharing at some point or another. Video sharing took off with a little site called 'YouTube.' Searching YouTube you can find videos about everything. Throughout this wiki you have found videos I have shared from YouTube and TeacherTube. The videos I have chosen are tutorial or humorous looks at the technologies we are using. The videos people share range from home movies to television shows to tutorials to regular, old movies. Any number of videos on any number of topics can be viewed through video sharing.

For those who would like to learn more about the history of YouTube check out the hour-long presentation called, "An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube." It's very entertaining and informative (It is not required for this 'thing.').

For Thing 14 we will be exploring TeacherTube. TeacherTube and SchoolTube are developed to be student-friendly video sharing sites. Check out some of the videos below. In your blog you will be commenting on how you could see yourself, your students or other educators using TeacherTube (or any other video sharing site). Remember that these are communities, so feel free to create an account, comment on videos, or upload your own video. It is not required for this 'thing,' but if you are planning on creating a webcast in the later 'things' it will prove helpful to have an account.
