New Resources

I have been exploring through this class some additional resources for school and teachers including Teachertube, Next Vista for learning, Youtube, and Clipblast. I was familiar with Youtube before as it seems Youtube has made it onto many other websites as it seems to be everywhere.
The additional sites make a little more focused sense to me except Clipblast which seems to be like Youtube, but does not have that much content on it. Teachertube seems to have a lot of resources and also some time wasters like Youtube. It appears that the difference in the control of the site and the for profit type. Teachertube seems to be a focused forum for teachers, but without the moderation to make sure it is useful or relevant. Next Vista appears to be a little more restricted in allowing their videos on their site. The videos are not as prolific, but seem to be relevant to teaching. I learned a lot more about Ukiyoe, the history wood block printing process in Japan from their featured video.
All of the sites appear to be fairly easy to use of you have reached the learning curve of searching for videos through Youtube it is pretty similar. I like that there is a blog which can tell you a little more about the video prior to checking it out. it also seems to be a chance to connect people in similar curriculum of they were to use it all the time.
I could see using it with students well to be a forum for their projects and as a resource for research. There were a few mental health videos which appeared to be research on particular mental health disorders. These seem to be good jumping off points for student to do further research and use technology. I could see filming a number of social skills in role plays (eye contact, entering a group, manners, etc.) that would be fun to video and put on a web site like this to teach themselves and other students how to socially interact with other in addition to particular course content. It will also be helpful in my role as a resource to teachers.
