I was looking for a "cleaner" alternative to YouTube for uploading students' videos created during my video authoring course. The YouTube homepage is a disgrace when you get to it. It displays thumbnails of videos that are being watched at that moment and the most inappropriate things flash on the screen. My course participants are adults, and yet I squirm when we get to the homepage and the sleazy thumbnails appear. In school, how are we going to explain that material to a class of form four boys? Or a form two co-ed class? I dare not.
Like I said, this problem prompted me to look out for a decent, education-centred version of YouTube. I found it in Teacher Tube. It works exactly like YouTube, but it only caters to people working in the field of education. In short, TeacherTube is the clean, educational version of YouTube.
Click to check out TeacherTube or even sign up for a free account. I've tried it out. It works. TeacherTube videos can be embedded in exactly the same way as YouTube videos.
