7 Useful YouTube Channels for Science Students and Teachers Last month I posted a list of useful YouTube channels for history teachers and students. That list proved to be popular so I thought I'd follow-up with a list of useful YouTube channels, not named Khan Academy, for science teachers and students. The Periodic Table of Videos is a YouTube channel produced by The University of Nottingham. One of the more useful playlists in the channel is The Elements. I covered this a couple of weeks ago, but it's worth mentioning again. Science/Math Concepts with Mr. Bright Storm is a company that I've covered before when writing about online mathematics help. NASA has a few different YouTube channels, but the one that has the most universal utility for teachers and students is NASA eClips. The Open University another resource that I've previously written about in other contexts. Do you have a favorite YouTube channel that should be added to this list?

Internet Tips for Teachers Concentrate on the curriculum rather than a cool internet site. Choose a topic and find resources that meet your needs. A variety of sites will provide enough material to keep your students engaged for a class period or two. Take time to brainstorm a few ideas for your web project/lesson. Start small and build. Stay within your comfort level. Consider available technology and the experience level of your students. Utilize search engines (Google) to find great educational sites. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Network with other educators. Create a bookmark file, your own web site (Geocities or Homestead), or a class page (Quia!). Develop your own rules for Internet safety. | Back to top | T.
