[elearning] YouTube Edu - new from Google

[E.Attie]

Hi Ken,

You can also have a try with video content at www.teachersbeehive.com<http://www.teachersbeehive.com> Fairly early stages in the development of this site but it has excellent elearning resources created by teachers for the VIC curriculum. Aussie accents!!!

It's a free service and I hope many of you out there can share your resources with us.

Regards,

Subject: [elearning] YouTube Edu - new from Google

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.

ken.
