Video Sharing and Constructivism
I think video sharing is a great tool to use in a constructivist classroom. Websites like You Tube and Flicker give students the opportunity to post and comment on different media. As a teacher I have the option to pick and choose certain videos or images to have students look at. After students look at the media they can post comments or write reflections about what they thought and learned about. The students can also see what other classmates wrote about and make comments as well. These sites can make for a great class discussion at school. I think it is amazing how easy it is to share media on the internet for educational purposes.

Have you used TeacherTube? It's got some really good stuff as well...and it's "safer" than YouTube. I recommend it to anyone who wants to use interactive video in the classroom.
