Thing #20

As with many school districts YouTube is blocked for me, but the good thing is, you can still download and convert your videos using http://www.zamzar.com/. So, finding videos at home and converting them is always an option. TeacherTube is not blocked and is therefore useful in the classroom itself. Students can explore different topics and download videos. Teachers can also upload to TeacherTube and make their videos accessible to other teachers and students. Both offer a plethora of opportunities like finding information on topics being researched to pique student interest, the capability of having students "publish" their finished video projects, a resource to find book trailers to advertise books in the library, and much more.

Below is a booktrailer I found for the book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.
