Videos+for+Education

=Educational Video Sites = Here are some suggested video sites for teachers to use to help supplement their instruction and use to support or review content. They are great to also use for the end of the school year. The list below is from RefSeek, which is a web search engine for students and researchers that aims to make academic information easily accessible to everyone. RefSeek searches more than one billion documents, including web pages, books, encyclopedias, journals, and newspapers. The list is the 25 best online resources for finding free educational videos. With the exception of BrainPOP and Cosmeo, all listed sites offer their extensive video libraries for free and without registration. WatchKnowLearn is in this list and is one of my favorites and one I have shared many times before! I will also like to add the site eMediaVA.org as it is a free site as well, but was first created for Virginia schools. Cheers! Anita
