YouTube EDU

Discovered today that YouTube has a new section call YouTube EDU devoted to entirely to
educational video's from the likes of MIT, Standford University, Harvard, UCLS and the University of New South Wales here in Sydney. This has the potential to be a great resource for both students and academics alike.

Right on the front page were posted some really interesting topical videos that your students might actually be interested in watching while learning. The University of Minnesota has a video looking at the science behind the popular recent movie Watchmen, I actually ended up watching the whole thing because it was so well presented.

There is a search box on the page enabling the searching of videos in the edu section only, so you don't have to sift through the dancing cats and singing dogs.

During my quick ten minute review of the site I found many useful videos that I will undoubtedly use so go check it out.
