Using Videos in the classroom

by Jeff Miezio

YouTube & AlternativesYouTube would be my go to site for finding videos

for use in the classroom but it does have its limitations. When you find a good educational

video that you want to share with your students you get frustrated because of the ad's and other

features around it. I have provided some resources to assist with youtube videos and some

alternatives. The following is a list of free video resources that I hope you can use and find useful.
