From Teachers's Pet to YouTube Star - 3 Education Channels to Watch. Remember that kid back in school who was always much more interested in a certain topic than the rest of us? Those eager beavers and teacher’s pets were not the most popular people to hang out with, but when tests and exams were on the horizon, everyone was their best friend. These were the students who could explain the boring or complicated subjects to the rest of us in easy and understandable ways. In the past couple of years YouTube has created a whole new platform for people with these skills.

May it be entertainment, cooking or pop culture news. The most successful channels have millions of subscribers and actually make a lot of money. And what about education? I think the best education channels that are currently on YouTube are created by folks who would have been the classic teacher’s pet. The important thing is that the content of the videos isn’t dumbed down, I even think it’s the contrary. Today, I would like to introduce you to some of my favorite education channels. Broadcast Yourself. CBBC - Horrible Histories. Morgan Freeman on Black History Month. 8 TED Talks You Need to Share with Your Students. Using multimedia in the classroom has become imperative in the 21st century classroom.
