Video Streaming

I hadn't heard of Discovery Education Video Streaming (DEVS) until this weeks assignment. I really liked that the videos all related back to a certain standard. All I had to do was search a standard and I was given numerous videos that addressed that specific standard. When using teacher tube, you have to have in mind what type of video you want before you search for it. I liked that with DEVS I didn't necessarily have to know what I wanted to do or find, all I need to know is the Standard. I could also use the website to search certain videos like I would with teacher tube. For example, I searched videos on The Civil War and subtraction. I was given several videos to choose from. Each one I could look at the standards to make sure that they addressed the standard I wish to teach. I also liked that the videos are divided into segments. With teacher tube, I have to pay attention to when/where I need to play and stop a video in order to show only the material I wish to show. With DEVS the videos were all ready segmented and contained a brief description of each segment. Both websites are a great tool for the classroom and I look forward to learning more about them.
