Video Resources

Below are links to YouTube, TeacherTube, Vimo, etc. Most links will bring the video up in a new window via the SafeYoutube service. This eliminates ads and also allows your classroom to watch videos without the related videos or comments displayed at the bottom of each page.

Videos are linked with the following disclaimer: If you find a video of your personal content that has been uploaded to a hosting site without your permission, I will gladly remove the link. In addition, it is your responsibility as an educator to preview videos in their entirety before showing them to your students. Make sure you understand your district's video viewing policy before adding any online resources to your lesson plans. These links are provided for your planning and research purposes, not because they are a part of some super, special awesome peer-reviewed currirulum. I am not liable for any consequences you may reap from showing any sort of online content to your students. Have a pleasant day :)
