Teacher Tube
Accessible for all on campus. Videos for teachers, parents, and students. Videos to assist with teaching and tutoring.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since launching on March 6, 2007, our goal at TeacherTube has been to provide an online community for sharing instructional and education videos for college students, high school students, middle school students and elementary school students. We seek to fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, students, schools, and home learners. It is a site to provide anytime, anywhere professional development with teachers teaching teachers. It is also a site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill.

On September 1, 2017, TeacherTube.com was acquired by Salem Web Network. Salem's goal is to continue the growth of TeacherTube and support innovative ideas for education.

Most importantly, TeacherTube community members are a major part of the evolution of the site. Members are encouraged to not only upload educationally relevant videos but also to make constructive comments and use the rating system to show appreciation for videos of value to one as an educator or learner. Users also have the ability to preserve the integrity of the site by flagging inappropriate videos. TeacherTube staff review flagged sites and will remove any inappropriate posts. With more collegial commentary and discussion through messaging and responses, the quality of this resource will only increase.

The service is free for everyone. We always encourage our users to Contact Us with thoughts, suggestions, or other feedback. We do have a vision for TeacherTube to truly be a better alternative to other video storage sites. With the community's help, it can become more interactive and engaging for all teachers and learners.

Science videos are one of the key subjects that students are taught in school. Science is present from the early years of grade school up to the highest levels of academic achievement. As students move up the ranks, their study of science tends to get more specialized into one specific field only, like chemistry, biology, or physics. We have educational videos for all of these courses.

TeacherTube.com's section on science educational videos has content of interest to all learning levels. We have topics as varied as educational songs for elementary school students, up to chemical engineering for college students.

Mathematics is one of the fundamental 3Rs of early education. Known as "arithmetic" in those levels, it involves counting and the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. As kids advance through the grade levels, they progressively deal with more complex mathematical problems. Also, more new concepts get introduced as they progress.

Math is crucial for almost any business career. Accounting, budgeting, and projecting sales all require some level of competence in math. Many resources for these topics can be found here on TeacherTube.

Even everyday situations benefit a lot from math skills. Managing one's finances, for instance, obviously requires math, as with anything involving money. Cooking also involves math: proportions of ingredients, for example, as well as measurements.

TeacherTube.com's section on math education videos covers everything from fractions and measurements to money management. We also cover more complicated subjects such as trigonometry, and well as probability and statistics.

History is a very valuable subject, but not just because it is useful for preventing future wars. The lessons from history can also teach people to build a better future. What people have done right in the past should be continued and improved upon in the present.

The subject of history covers a wide range of timelines and locations. There's ancient history and modern history. There is also Asian history, US history, Latin American history, and European history. Each one is unique, reflecting the cultures of the people involved.

If there's one thing common to all history classes, it's usually names, dates, and places. This is also the part that many kids hate the most. They do not see the point of memorizing so many random facts that appear purposeless. Well, that is the wrong way to teach history.

TeacherTube's history education videos section makes the past come alive with a sterling array of videos and tutorials that cover subjects as varied as our prehistory, ancient history, the civil war, and the study of world civilizations.

The purpose of social studies, based on the US National Council for the Social Studies, is to promote "civic competence" among students. In other words, the subject equips students to become better citizens of a country. This is done by exploring history, geography, current events, and governments, among others. Middle school social studies usually deal with one of each of these fields per grade level.

With this knowledge, students gain the ability to become more socially aware and to be actively involved citizens of their country. Through analyzing current events, students will also learn how to predict the consequences of the things happening around them. With that, they can be good influences on their communities.

It is with this goal in mind that TeacherTube offers a wide variety of learning video materials for both students and enthusiasts.

We have videos on everything from strengthening your knowledge of economics terminology to the nuances of various world cultures.

Language arts, as the name suggests, equips students with a wide range of ways to use language. It comprises both speaking and writing skills. In addition to the basics, the subject also deals with the artistic side of language, infusing creativity in the ways students communicate.

There are four basic aspects to understanding a language: speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Language arts classes aim to enhance those skills at each year level. At first, it covers basic topics like grammar, sentence construction, and paragraphs. Exercises in language arts become progressively more complex as students move up the ranks, and usually, in higher grades, more emphasis is put on creativity and persuasiveness.

With the noble goal of harnessing the power of words to effect change in the world in mind, TeacherTube is proud to offer videos on everything from general communications to speaking and even videos on strengthening your studying skills.

Not all kids want to go through lectures. Some of them may not have the attention span or the patience to endure long hours just sitting down and listening to someone talk in front. No, that doesn't mean these kids are lazy. It just means they learn differently.

Some kids are auditory learners. In other words, they learn best when they listen to sounds and music. For this type of student, educational songs will certainly be a big helping hand. Even the most complex of concepts, when taught through songs, will be very easy for them to understand and remember. Even kids who are not so much inclined to auditory learning may like this method.

Educational song vidoes are available in a wide variety of subjects. English, math, social studies, science, and everything in between, there's bound to be a song for every subject. For example, on the website Teachertube.com, there are science topic songs, reading songs, skip counting songs, reading phonics songs, and even quadratic formula songs.

The advantage of using educational song videos is that it accomplishes two things at once. First, these songs are entertaining, and second, they also teach a concept. They facilitate learning a lot better than plain lectures simply because of the entertainment part. When a lesson is made fun of, kids will want to learn them. In fact, it could even be the kids themselves, on their own, who will play the songs repeatedly.

TeacherTube offers education songs on topics as varied as the circulatory system to math songs about polynomials and even videos on St. Patrick's Day.

2/1/18 Basic Information on Student Loans

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Education is important. Unfortunately, it's also expensive. Most people can't afford to pay the costs of higher education out of their savings or current income (many students don't have an income), so they turn to student loans. Before you borrow, it's important to understand how student loans work, and how to use them without creating problems down the road.

For many, student loans are a form of "good debt" - an investment in a future that otherwise wouldn't be possible.

And it often pays off: workers with a college degree tend to earn about $20,000 more than those with a high school education each year.

Use in Moderation

Before getting into the details, think of the big picture and consider a bit of advice that you simply can't hear too often: try to minimize your borrowing. Right now, it's hard to imagine what life is like with student loan payments, and those loans are the key to a brighter future. But student loan debt is also a serious burden that can stay with you for life. To minimize that burden:

Apply for grants and scholarships to reduce the amount you borrow. Even small grants help.

Work part time to pay some of your education costs. You might get valuable life experience that many of your peers won't get until after graduation, and you can start steering your life in the direction you want.

Evaluate less expensive schools and in-state education. After graduation, how much will it matter where you went to school (it depends on your field)?

Cut costs where you can. Used books, inexpensive entertainment, and homemade food can go a long way here.

Every time you get funds in the form of a student loan, remember that you'll have to repay all of that money ( plus interest) at some point in the future.

How Student Loans Work

Student loans are unique because they are designed for funding your higher education.

What makes them different?

Lower costs: student loans often charge lower costs than other types of loans that you might be able to get. They are considered low-risk loans, and government policies keep costs low on certain loans. Interest rates are often fixed, so you don't have to worry about severe changes in your interest costs, and interest might even be subsidized (or paid by the government).

Easier approval: most students don't have high paying jobs or high credit scores. That means it's harder to borrow, unless you use a student loan. As your first loans, these loans will help you establish credit (another reason it's important to borrow wisely - you want to start out on the right foot). Some student loans are available without any credit check, while others require at least decent credit.

Benefits at payback time: repayment is the worst part of any loan, but student loans can offer some borrower-friendly features that make it easier. Loans through government programs are the best, but some private lenders are willing to help as well. With some loans, you don't have to start making payments until you're out of school, and in some cases your interest costs will be paid while you're enrolled so your loan balance doesn't increase.

If you experience a stretch of unemployment, you might be able to stop making payments until you find a job (known as an unemployment deferment). Interest you pay on your loans might be tax deductible (check with your tax preparer). Finally, you might even get your loans forgiven or cancelled after 10 years of repayment, depending on your career.

Federal vs. Private Student Loans

You can borrow from any lender you want. However, loans offered through government programs are typically your best bet, and you should use those loans first. Government loans (or "Direct Loans") are more likely to be generous with the benefits listed above. Learn more about the Advantages of Federal Student Loans.

After you've borrowed everything you can using government loans, you can turn to private lenders if you still need more.

These lenders are typically banks, credit unions, and online lenders. They might market the loans as "student loans," or they might offer standard loans that you can use for anything you want.

To get approved with a private lender, you'll need good credit and sufficient income to repay the loan. Many students don't have either, so a parent (or somebody else with good income and credit) often applies for the loan or cosigns the loan with the student - which makes both people 100% responsible for repaying the loan.

Be sure to read your loan agreements carefully, and find out if you've got a variable rate loan.

How to Get Student Loans

To start borrowing, visit your financial aid office to start getting information. Find out what types of aid might be available, including grants and scholarships. Your next step is to fill out the FAFSA form, which gathers information about your finances (the government and your school use that information to determine your "need" for financial aid). Complete your FAFSA as soon as possible every calendar year. Do the best you can when filling it out - you can go back and correct any estimates later in the year.

Apply for aid with your school's financial aid office, and wait for the results. If approved, you can decide to take all or part of the aid available, and you'll probably need to complete a basic entrance counseling session to get educated on how your loans work.

If you're getting private loans, you'll need to find a lender and fill out a loan application with that lender. For more information, see How to get a Loan.

Types of Student Loans

As you go through the application process, you'll want to get familiar with the most common types of loans available through the US government.

Perkins loans should be your first choice. They feature a low, fixed interest rate and are available to borrowers regardless of credit. However, they are need based loans, meaning they're not available to everybody, and they are in limited supply. Learn more about Perkins loans.

Stafford loans are also easy to qualify for, and they provide more money than Perkins loans. In addition, interest costs might be subsidized, and they are available for graduate students as well as undergrads. Learn more about Stafford loans.

PLUS loans are similar to standard loans. They require a credit review, and repayment starts sooner after disbursement. PLUS loans for undergrads go to parents, which allow them to cover large expenses for their children. In recent years, these loans have gotten bad press as parents can spend a lifetime paying off PLUS loans. Learn more about PLUS loans.

Consolidation loans are loans that combine multiple student loans into a single loan. The result is simpler repayment (one payment instead of many), and there may be other benefits. Consolidation works differently for federal and private loans. Learn the differences before you decide to consolidate or mix federal loans with private loans.

Borrowing Knowledge

If you're going to borrow for school - or at any time in your life - it's important to understand basic personal finance topics. You're getting an education in your field of study, and you're also learning important life skills.

Its name can be squeezed onto a tea towel, a decorative plate, a magnet, a mug, and other touristic souvenirs, but has the northern Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoc been celebrated in song?

Indeed it has. The Great Big Story's Human Condition episode, above, has vinyl proof, though the tune's unlikely to give The White Cliffs of Dover, The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond, or The Rocky Road To Dublin much of a run for the money.

Still, whichever outside-the-box Victorian thinker had the bright idea to attract tourists by expanding the village's original name - Pwllgwyngyll - by 46 letters was onto something.

Turns out you don't need natural wonders or world-renowned cultural attractions to stake a claim, when out-of-towners will make the trip just to take photos of the local signage.

Village Community Council Chairman Alun Mummery attributes the name-lengthening publicity stunt in 1869 to a local cobbler.

Or perhaps he was a tailor. That's what poet John Morris-Jones, author of 1913's A Welsh Grammar, Historical and Comparative, maintained, while refusing to outright identify this clever civic booster.

Wikipedia throws doubt on these origin stories by citing an entry in an ecclesiastical directory published a few years prior to 1869, which gave the full parish name as "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerbwlltysiliogogo."

(Close enough!)

Someone in the tourist information office told travel writer Dave Fox that it translates to "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."

It's tempting to think this little Welsh town has the longest name in the world, but that honor actually goes to Bangkok.

Wait, what?

The name by which most foreigners know Thailand's capital city is actually an archaic reference to its pre-1782 location.

Thai people call their capital Krung Thep - short for Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit.

It means "City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Vishvakarman at Indra's behest" and looks like this, when written in Thai script:

กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochians still get to brag that they have the longest town name in Europe.

Their football club, Clwb Pêl Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Football Club - CPD Llanfairpwll FC for short - might well be the longest named football club in the world if it weren't for that damn Amon Rattanakosin Krung Thep Mahanakhon Mahinthara Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Ayuthaya Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit Bravo Association Football Club (aka Bangkok Bravo FC).

Some of the fun of living in a town with such a cumbersome name must be amazing tourists by how casually it rolls off local tongues.

Pub owner Kevin Bryant obliges visitors from The Great Big Story by downing a pint on camera before rapping it out.

Anything for the local economy!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoc also got a boost from mentions on Groucho Marx's quiz show, You Bet Your Life, in a Bossa Nova-inflected Stephen Sondheim song, and in several films, including 1968's Barbarella.

As YouTuber Tom Scott points out below, long words are invariably shortened in everyday speech, and place names are no exception.

Postmaster Jim Evans advocates shortening the town name to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.

When not actively impressing tourists, local people say Llanfairpwll.

Which is still a pretty impressive consonant to vowel ratio.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Welcome to the updated Digital Citizenship Website

Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately. Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Digital citizenship is the continuously developing norms of appropriate, responsible, and empowered technology use. Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage.

The new Digital Citizenship Handbook for School Leaders: Fostering Positive Interactions Online by Mike Ribble and Marty Park, is now available at ISTE.org or Amazon.com

The Knights of 17th Street ​is a fiction book for Young Adults that connects with the ideas of digital citizenship in an action filled format. Check out more information here.

Order the paperback or Kindle version from Amazon.

Digital Citizenship Today

I want to thank everyone working so diligently during these difficult times. With so many students now working from home - many using digital devices it makes this topic of Digital Citizenship so critical! I want to thank Ms. Amanda Brace from Regina, SK to have a conversation about COVID-19 and its relationship to Digital Citizenship. If you would like to listen to this podcast it is available in multiple options: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and voicEd.ca. She also wrote a short blog post about this conversation, which also includes some of the resource links on her website - EdTechEndeavours. With the leadership of educators like Amanda and so many of you we will get through this time. Please stay safe!

I also had the opportunity to talk to Carl Hooker on BAM Radio about working with educators in these difficult times. The title is During Crisis-Driven Online Learning Is It Better To Keep It Simple or Try New Things? ​Thank you Carl and ISTE for organizing this discussion about how to use the technology in trying times.

After 15 years working on this topic there has been some updating to the nine elements of Digital Citizenship. In addition to the updates to the the Digital Citizenship definition, as well as the Nine Elements a new Framework has been created to help users to understand and organize these themes. It is the S3 Framework (Safe, Savvy and Social). Go to the Nine Elements page to learn more about these changes.

Some great materials and discussions for our 2019 Digital Citizenship week! Here are a couple of conversations on the topic: Facebook Live with Tito de Morais (Portugal) - Facebook: facebook.com/cyberbullying.pt/videos/464966610778236/

When schools put devices such as Chromebooks and tablets into students' hands, they also must teach students how to use the technology safely and appropriately. But students shouldn't learn these critical lessons only in standalone workshops or assemblies.

For good digital citizenship to become a lifelong habit for students, educators must embed these skills into their daily instruction and model them in their own behavior. They must also involve parents in this process and begin the education early on in a child's experience.
Start at a Young Age
"Kids are coming to school having already had some contact with technology," says Mike Ribble, IT director for Manhattan-Ogden Unified School District 383 in Kansas. "Whether they have a knowledge of how to use it appropriately is another question."

As an example, Ribble points to Common Sense Media's report " Zero to Eight: Children's Media Use in America." According to this study, the percentage of children up to age eight who have used a mobile device nearly doubled from 2011 to 2013, from 38 percent to 72 percent - and 40 percent of children have used a mobile device before age two.

The report's findings suggest that schools should start teaching digital citizenship to students at a very young age. In fact, Ribble strongly believes students should learn these skills throughout the K-12 curriculum. When schools teach digital citizenship using a "one-off event" such as a presentation or an assembly, students take in the information and then forget it over time, Ribble says. But if the topic is taught continuously throughout the curriculum, "that's when it sticks."
Four Keys to Effective Digital Citizenship
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has unveiled a new set of ed tech standards for students, which could help educators instill good online habits in their students throughout the curriculum.

The standards outline the knowledge and skills that students should learn and be able to demonstrate when it comes to technology use. They define four key elements of exemplary digital citizenship:

Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world.

Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including in social interactions online or when using networked devices.

Students demonstrate an understanding of and respect for the rights and obligations of using and sharing intellectual property.

Students manage their personal data to maintain digital privacy and security and are aware of data-collection technology used to track their navigation online.

Many schools teach online safety and responsibility by creating an atmosphere of fear: Don't give out your personal information. Be careful how you act online. While these lessons are important, ISTE's new standards aim to set a more positive tone by focusing on how technology can empower students, says Jim Flanagan, ISTE's chief learning services officer.

For instance, students should learn how to use LinkedIn and other tools to build their personal networks and cultivate a positive digital identity that can lead to success in work and life. "The opportunity for one child to have a positive impact has never been greater," Flanagan says. "We don't just want students to be afraid, or they'll miss that opportunity."
Get Parents Involved
Parents must play a critical role in digital citizenship conversations. "Parents need to understand these concepts, and they need to be engaged in the process so they are reinforcing appropriate online behaviors at home," Ribble says.

Ribble's district uses a variety of strategies to reach parents, such as parent-teacher conferences, PTA meetings and social media. He encourages schools to hold open houses for parents in order to set clear expectations before handing out devices to students in mobile learning programs.

But even the best efforts won't be effective unless teachers and administrators exemplify these skills and behaviors in their daily interactions with students. "As adults, we must be modeling effective online behavior and calling out inappropriate behavior when we see it," Flanagan says, "or [we're] giving students the opportunity to discover it for themselves."

Looking to implement a digital literacy curriculum in your classroom? Here are some tips on how to meet the challenge.

Images via Wikimedia Commons. Liz Phair left, Mick Jagger right
In 1971, post-Altamont fiasco, the Rolling Stones went into exile... not on some dusty small town drag, but on the French Riviera, where the band decamped for purposes of tax evasion and began recording in Keith Richards' rented villa near Nice. Everyone knows what happened next-a sloppy, soupy, ragged, glorious hash of country, blues, and country-blues, filtered through a haze of booze and heroin and the Stones' devotion to rock and roll as macho endurance exercise: Exile on Main Street.

The album, with its cover collage of Americana grotesquerie and kitsch, may have "killed the Rolling Stones," Jack Hamilton argues at The Atlantic, but it launched a thousand imitators in the ensuing decades, a thousand would-be Keith Richards getting strung out and making dirty, raunchy rock, "pitched perfectly between earnestness and irony." Fourteen years after the album's release, darlings of trashy New York noise rock, Pussy Galore, covered the album song-for-song. The effort "sounds like it was recorded in the tank of a Lower East Side toilet," writes Randall Roberts.

Pussy Galore guitarist Neil Hagerty surely deserves the Richards mantle-taking sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and lo-fi recording to absurd lengths with his later project Royal Trux. But one of the ironies of the testosterone-fueled Exile on Main Street's influence on these bands is that they featured two of the toughest women in underground music, Julie Cafritz and Jennifer Herrema-women who labored obscurely in a "complicated world of men with guitars," as Allison Stewart puts it at The Washington Post.

In 1993, Liz Phair stepped into this world with her career-defining Exile in Guyville, "one of the sharpest, boldest rock albums of its era, or any era," which just happens to be a song-for-song response to the Rolling Stones' opus. Next to the Stones, the production of Phair's sounds pristine-you can actually make out the lyrics! Her explosive debut was a defiant conversation, "clearly in a tussle with the sort of male-dominated music scene," she tells The New York Times.

Using the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main St" was sort of like using their avatar. I thought that was the quintessential guy rock band, you know? So I substituted in my head the characters from "Exile" with the characters I knew from around the neighborhood. Sort of talking to them vis-à-vis the conversation I was having with the Rolling Stones.

The exercise began with Phair taking Exile on Main Street as a textbook, of a sort: "I was a visual arts major and I concocted the idea that I needed a template-learn from the greats," she tells Rolling Stone. After her then-boyfriend sarcastically told her, "you should totally do that," she became intent on meeting the challenge of writing her own take on the album. But Guyville was about much more than the Stones, who provide an armature for her explorations of "a million Guyvilles," as she tells Stewart.

"It's in the studios, where you try to get movies made and cast. It's anyone being white-privileged, being whatever it is that gives you invisible safety or invisible benefits. 'Guyville' could be a catchphrase for any oblivious community that has no idea that they're shoving people to the side." Twenty-five years after the album's debut, Phair's commentary seems as trenchant as it was then, when she found herself one of a select few women in an industry dominated by a lot of sleazy guys: "The market forces... were gross. It was like, 'Look hotter! Get more naked!' Like as if it was a Jell-O wrestling contest."

The major difference now, she says, is that women have a significant presence in every genre: "I feel like every day on Twitter I find some new female band I'm interested in, and I can have my entire music diet be female songwriters and musicians." Though she was then and now a reluctant "feminist spokesmodel," Phair deserves ample credit for helping to break open the music industry's Guyville, by taking on one of its most sacred objects. Exile in Guyville was re-released in a box set this month by Matador. In the playlist above, you can hear the conversation in full, with each song on Exile on Main Street followed by Phair's Exile in Guyville rejoinder.

As you listen, be sure to read her interview at Rolling Stone, where she explains how she translated the early 70s classic into an early 90s idiom. She also tells the story of meeting Mick Jagger, who, she says, gave her a belittling look that said, "Yeah, all right, I'll let you off the hook this time for completely making a name for yourself off our name, but don't think I don't know." Her response: "I wasn't mad. He's Mick!"
