<p><b>What is MySciLife? </b></p>
<p>MySciLife® is an online social learning environment where students create an identity as a science concept, such as an organism, animal. object or force: What would it be like to live life as a cell? Students develop this persona and maintain the role of this science concept via status updates, interactions and tools familiar to today’s youth—safely within the MySciLife® community. MySciLife® is a personal, dynamic science learning experience, a place for science-focused interaction, and a tool for teachers to assess understanding as students “live” and learn science, created by TeachersFirst.com.<b> </b></p>

<p>Our MySciLife<b>®</b> Pilot Teacher Ambassadors had great success using <b>MySciLife® learning community</b> to deliver their science curriculum in <b>Grades 6-9</b>. Student interest, motivation and learning was shown to improve. Full results will be posted soon on our website. We would like to expand our research project to a total of thirty science teachers from across the country, next year. <b>You will be contracted and compensated for your time.</b></p>
<p>The entire project is FREE for schools, teachers and students participating and will remain free. We hope to bring this project to life to provide fun and inter-active learning to middle school students. </p>

I was wondering if the Collected Wisdom had suggestions for where students could post videos online safely. We should encourage children to be creative, and should encourage sharing of ideas, and sometimes that means sharing beyond the bounds of the classroom.<br />
The site that immediately jumps to mind when you think of posting videos is YouTube, but of course creating an account on YouTube exposes kids to undesirable vids that are accessible only with an account.<br />

Things that spring to mind are a Ning site, a WikiSpaces site, KidVideos, or for those with a bit more know-how, hosting their own site. What are your thoughts?<br />
I suppose too that this could extend not just to classrooms, but children in general, being creative outside of school time :-)
