For anyone who gets up and teaches in front of a classroom, you know that there is always something new to learn that can help you with your profession. TeacherTube is a site dedicated to user provided video content related to teaching. The videos can be actual clips that you are meant to show in the classroom, or they can be clips of teachers explaining or demonstrating their methods. Teachers have provided films of all sorts, from how to do Excel presentations to encouraging the use of technology in your classroom. The videos upload quickly and run pretty smoothly. The site is well-organized, allowing you to search through videos by category, time they were created, most popular, most viewed, or most discussed. Of course, like any good user content site, you can rate and review all of the video clips, so ultimately the teachers are running the site´s content.
