 **SchoolTube ** []

**__Introduction:__** My web 2.0 site is called SchoolTube. It is a great resource for teachers and students. Teachers can get video on a number of subjects and categories. The viewer can look up a school district, school, or add a new school if it is not listed. There is a place for students and educators to sign up. Schools or even classrooms can upload their own videos to add to the site. The videos can be either public or private. The website has different contests for students to enter. The website is free.

**__Features:__** - Upload classroom videos -All the videos are classroom appropriate - Participate in contests. (Most videos has to have to be filmed, directed by students depending on the rules.) -See videos by school or districts -See other school's videos based on different categories

__In My Classroom:__
I can see this tool being used in several ways. This is a great way to film mini presentations and skits of the students. When they are uploaded to this site, parents and classmates can view them. I can see using this site to film appropriate ways to act in a school setting and allowing students to watch the video. These videos can be available to other classroom with the same needs. (Of course this can only be done when parents sign the picture release form. Students will be from the general education class.) I would also make sure the videos are private. This will also be a good way to film lessons that my students miss. An example of this is strings or a science lesson. Students can watch the video at he/her own time and can watch it more often if more practice is needed for the lesson.

Favorite Tools On This Site:
** __1. Contests__ : ** There are several contests that are going on in this site. One is that students show how to solve global challenges or ways to save the planet. There are other themed contests that are sponsored by the American Red Cross on Babysitter safety and on fire prevention. See [|this] to see different contests that are available.

**2. __New Account:__** I created an account for this site. I have not had opportunities to upload any video yet, but when I become a teacher, I may be able to use this site more often. A teacher can simply connect to a school or put the school or district in the system. Click on [|this] to go to find your school and create an account.
