YouTube is a great site for educational content, but it's also plagued with a lot of rubbish that, although tagged to a topic you may be searching for, can be inappropriate for students to use. Here is a collection of resources that are classroom-worthy for both teachers and students.TeacherTube
Teacher Tube is a great teacher resource for educational video content that is safe for students to search also. Content is rated by 'apples' so you can see the total number of times videos have been view and their rating by users.
Teachers.tv
A brilliant resource of thousands of clips that could be best utilised for any aspect of the Elementary curriculum, and in particular, the Units of Inquiry. There is the ability to search for exactly what you are looking for or to just browse the categories that are available ranging from Art and Design through to Science.
MathaTube
A very new resource that is steadily improving week-by-week. With a math-only focus, MathaTube has some very-well explained math principles from kingergarden through to year six. Content is arranged into subjects of maths and although it may take a little while to find what you need and screen through some questionable movies, there are some real gems hidden as well.
Kids-Know-It-Network
There are a huge collection of games and activities here, but also some explanitory movies as well. Each movie finishes with a quiz for viewers, and new movies are updated each month.
CNN Student News
CNN Student News uses CNN's worldwide resources to bring each day's top news stories to Upper Elementary classrooms. The 10-minute, commercial-free program encourages student participation and provides classes with context for understanding current events.
