Welcome! This is a website that everyone can build together. It's easy!

YouTube @ NETA Home

YouTube can be used in the classroom to enhance your current curriculum by:

  • Finding video of experiences you couldn't replicate in the classroom
  • Sharing projects with a large audience, including other classrooms or parents/family
  • Quickly creating video newsletters for parents or students
  • Embed videos to existing websites

Our Past Projects:


Classroom 2.0 Forum Ideas for using YouTube in the classroom


Drawbacks of YouTube:

  • Self-regulation doesn't always work
  • Blocked in most schools


Alternatives to being on YouTube:

TeacherTube: The "education version" of YouTube.
Google Video: Not "geared toward" education like TeacherTube, but one of a number of other video hosting sites.
Vixy: online multi-platform flash video converter. They also have a desktop application version. Currently in beta form.
Tube TV (download for Macs 10.4+): Tube TV allows you to download movies from YouTube or TeacherTube to your computer in a video format.
YouTube Downloader
Embed videos into existing websites: There is still a link to whichever video hosting site you use (i.e., YouTube, TeacherTube, etc.), but you will not automatically be taken to the hosting website. Examples: school tour, the CNN bus

Is YouTube blocked in your district?

It is unblocked for teachers and staff in our district (only recently) but students do not have access; however, teachers can request an unblock for students when needed for a particular lesson or project.
Do you find this valuable?
