WatchKnow.org – Videos for kids
Watchknow.org is a website that aims to collect free, educational videos that can be used by teachers in schools and organize them by topic. This allows teachers to find pre-screened videos on specific topics instead of having to spend hours in front of Youtube to find appropriate materials.
WatchKnow is a non-profit online community where anyone can create an account and add videos. Most, if not all, of the videos are hosted elsewhere, like Youtube or TeacherTube, and linked to with a brief review at WatchKnow. While the site is young and hasn’t yet hit it’s goal of “millions of great short videos, and other watchable media, explaining every topic taught in schools, in every major language on Earth” it does have a number of excellent, short videos that can be integrated into a lesson. As this site grows, I’m sure it will become an incredible resource for educators.
