Posted on December 30th, 2011 by Joy Schwabach
Youtube.com/schools is a new site aimed at helping teachers use educational videos. Students can log into the site and see videos their teachers have selected from a list of thousands. A similar site is YouTube.com/teachers. Videos here are categorized by grade level and topic, such as fifth-grade math, science, social studies, language arts, etc.
