Teacher Tube appears to be one of the easier to use tools for teachers. What the site lacks in quantity of videos (compared to youtube) it makes up for in overall quality and its assurance of appropriate material for the classroom. The site contains much more than just videos, as it incorporates repositories for documents, audio files, photos, blogs, and more. In short, the site is a wonderful addition to any teacher's repertoire to help meet their SOLs.
Here are a couple of examples of videos that could be used in first grade to teach the following SOLs...
1.2 The student will describe the stories of American leaders and their contributions to our country,
with emphasis on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, George
Washington Carver, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
1.3 The student will discuss the lives of people associated with Presidents’ Day, Columbus Day,
and the events of Independence Day (Fourth of July).
The videos you found were great. Like you said, the site is extremely beneficial because of all the other options it gives besides just videos.
