I have known about YouTube for some time now - who hasn’t, right? I’ve done some sharing and surfing and watching. People put the craziest things on there. I often hear my students discussing the latest video over and over again. I searched for some educational videos and found some interesting things. There were several “Teacher Rap” videos. My favorite is here Teachers Rap About Teaching. Another one was a combination of Shakespeare and the old Abbott & Costello “Who’s on First” skit. This was creative. This also satisfied my search for fun & nostalgic because I remember watching the original as a kid. Watch. .

Then I searched some How-To videos. You can find out how to do just about anything. You can learn how to eat more healthfully, how to speak French, train your dog, make peanut butter and jelly, and evidently, I’ve been showering incorrectly for years. Good times.

Finally, TeacherTube. I actually experimented with this this past week in my classes. We just finished studying Romeo and Juliet, and my students had to memorize passages. I videotaped them, uploaded them to TeacherTube and embedded them on our class wikispace. Here is my favorite. This young man is playing both Romeo and Mercutio in Mercutio’s famous death scene.
