Well I tried to use Youtube today and when I searched something the results came up with some very inappropriate content for my 3rd graders. It wasn't until I opened my e-mail that I found this wonderful site that filters the Youtube content just for younger users.
The site is called Zuitube. You can find great videos here that help reinforce classroom instruction or just regular "fun" videos. All of the content comes from Youtube, but it is filtered prior to students viewing it. They have movie trailers from new and upcoming age appropriate movies to lessons taught be teachers.
Students can also rate the videos they watch by kid friendly tags. Some include; rockin', angelic, lovely, gross, LOL, and fun. There is no signing up required, just search and begin viewing!
Check it out and let me know how it works for you in your classroom!
