[elearning] YouTube Edu - new from Google

[ken price]

Perhaps in response to school concerns that YouTube has a lot of video
content that is irrelevant to school education, Google yesterday announced
the
release of YouTube Education http://www.youtube.com/edu

At this stage the content seems mainly higher education (perhaps useful for
students who need extension). I guess that is largely because at this stage
universities seem more geared to contributing content than schools and
school systems.

Still, the opportunity to view lectures from Yale, MIT, NYU, UC Berkeley and
UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, Purdue etc is something that was not
available to most students 10 years ago. I wonder how mainstream education
might make use of this?

There is also a fair collection ot teacher education and professional
learning content. Also popular speakers like De Bono, Howard Gardner, etc

The search at some point degenerates into a general YouTube search but its a
good start.
