The Big Question

There have always been issues in schools surounding YouTube, both concerned with students accessing inappropriate YouTube movies and less often concerns with publishing student work to YouTube. I have typically recommended TeacherTube as an alternative and often that works well.

Having said that YouTube offers a much larger audience for student work, can be better quality, quicker and has some other interesting features. Some of our schools now have a YouTube Channel where parents, teachers and students can visit to view the movies created by students of the school. Other teachers are creating playlists for the students to view and are finding the massive variety of resources from around the world an excellent way to expand student thinking.

If you are frustrated by some of the limitations of TeacherTube or just interested in creating a YouTube account and channel the movie below will guide you through the process. If you have a google account you are already halfway there.
