One of the many discoveries from my time at Tom Daccord's Web 2.0 workshop last month was SchoolTube. We were discussing Web 2.0 tools such as YouTube but were weighing the up- and downsides of using such a "public" resource, one where we all have seen the most amazing and useful video but where we also realize much debatable or absolutely inappropriate content is accessible to one and all (which includes our students).
TeacherTube was mentioned, of course. But I had never heard of SchoolTube, which was described as a place where students can post video (not to worry, the content is also monitored and subject to moderation by educators and site administrators).
In case you hadn't heard of SchoolTube, now you have. As an enticement, I offer a sample below which I thought was very well done. SchoolTube seems like a "keeper" site.
