Thank you for sharing this! I mentor teachers with ELLs in their classes and this type of visual support would make content a bit more accessible for them. I will share this when I go back to school on August 12 (yep--we go back now in mid-August in many parts of California).<br />

Thanks for the idea John. I have always used PowerPoint and have sometimes found the videos to not work. I have only just begun to play with the idea of uploading my presentations into Google docs.

I agree. I regularly use video clips from YouTube of Google video in my Earth Science classes. It usually involves a lot of time on my part previewing the video and ensuring it meets the objective I have for my students. I have found, through trail and error, the best way was to create my own files of what I found helpful. It would certainly cut down on a tremendous amount of research time if there was a site containing the 'best-of-the-best".

We at <a href="http://attanolearn.com" target="_blank">attano</a> are currently doing beta of a concept which is aimed at providing students and teachers with access to relevant educational video content mapped to curriculum.<br />

The video's are curated by teachers using an internet platform (right now it is a closed crowdsourcing model) and are made available to students, teachers and parents through our site at <a href="http://attanolearn.com" target="_blank">attanolearn.com</a> .<br />

I have absolutely no idea what science teachers did before YouTube! I use it on a regular basis. Whenever I teach a new concept I try to hit it through multiple modalities. I lecture (auditory) show a YouTube video (Visual) and do a hands-on lab (Kinesthetic). YouTube has proved to be a treasure trove of animations related to some fairly complex biological processes.<br />

It is possible to embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint but it's a fairly technical process and I have found it to be rather unreliable. I much prefer using Google Docs.<br />
<br />
Whenever I find a useful video I favorite it and add it to a playlist. I have a separate play list for each of the units that I teach. When I get to that unit I review what I have available and pick which videos I want to show.<br />
<br />
Another cool thing that you can do with YouTube videos is embed them in Google Docs presentations. I create my presentations in PowerPoint, upload them to Google Docs, and then embed the video at the end to illustrate what the lecture notes have been explaining. I use a reverse instructional model in my Anatomy & Physiology class and this seems to work very well. Here's an <a href="http://southfieldchristian.wikispaces.com/Cardiovascular+%26+Respiratory+Systems" target="_blank">example</a> of one of my lectures with an embedded video.

I also use YouTube a lot but it was blocked at our school. So, I use a YouTube downloader so I can download the video and then I burn it to a CD or DVD. Our school doesn't have many projectors but we have a lot of TV's so I have the students watch the video on the TV.

Thanks for all of the great ideas, everyone. As a student who will receive a teaching degree in December 2010, all of the discussions on this site are really informative. It is great to have an idea about what is available and how it can be used in the classroom.

Not real impressed with this site for Science, it has a lot for Social Studies though. If you need a science video site, try <a href="http://www.sciencehack.com" target="_blank">http://www.sciencehack.com</a>. The site claims to check every video for its authenticity by a real scientist. Hope this helps all you science people.
