We are quickly becoming part of the global learning movement. Technology provides virtually unlimited access to information, but keeping up with the latest educational trends and technologies can be daunting. My goal is to provide a forum for sharing and learning about web 2.0 technologies that are revolutionizing classroom instruction, and recommend some of the best, and usually free, digital tools that can inspire and support education.

WatchKnow -- Videos for kids to learn from
Finally! http://www.watchknow.org/ is a YouTube-like web site created especially for children by a co-founder of Wikipedia. YouTube is great, but its unfiltered format makes it inappropriate for young viewers. Both learners and teachers will appreciate this new resource, which was just launched in November and already includes hundreds of thousands of useful educational videos, all rated and sorted into an easy-to-use directory. Definitely join this non-profit online community and try searching for a video to help you teach one of your subjects!
You can watch this video for an overview of WatchKnow features. I think you'll be impressed.
