TeacherTube is an online site that allows teachers and students to view instructional videos in a safe and reliable environment. Much like YouTube, TeacherTube allows it's members to upload, tag, and share videos worldwide. Also like YouTube, this site allows teacher and students to browse all of its videos and subscribe to channels of similiar interest. TeacherTube was launched almost 5 years ago and it slowly gaining popularity. TeacherTube was first imagined by a 14-year teacher veteran who questioned why educators are not using the power of the web to bring more inovative instruction to the classroom. His goal was brought to life on March 6, 2007. Since then he joined forces with other teachers to create the site we know today. Currently, TeacherTube encourages its members to comment and rate videos along with uploading their own in order to create a more well-rounded site. =====
