I have been using online video in the classroom for a long time. As a former social studies teacher, online video saved my life a couple of times (also ended it on some days when the web wasn't cooperating) and made planning much easier. I remember having to request videos from a catalog and waiting a week or two from ITV to get it. So when United Streaming came along, I jumped on that train. One thing I learned out in Humble ISD last summer was to use MS movie maker to take only the segments that supported your lesson. My former teaching buddy and I downloaded all the videos we usually use and store them on our I drive at school. No more depending on the net.
I searched teacher tube for relevant reading videos, but there's a preponderance of elementary stuff there. I decided to use the Texas History video from UNT. Very cool, so I'll be an advocate for the site. Just hope my embedding works...

You are the king of embedded videos now. :-)
Yeah, it's SO much easier to download, save, and bypass the internet's waxing and waning.
