"Excellent educational content can be found on YouTube. However, not every teacher can access YouTube in his or her classroom. That's why a few years ago I compiled a big list of alternatives to YouTube. Over the years some of those sites have shut-down, started charging a fee, or have switched into another market. So this evening I went through and eliminated some sites from the list and added a few new ones."

Richard Byrne has updated his list of sites that provide free videos. His top five list is below:
* Next Vista
* PBS Video
* Explore.org
* The National Film Board of Canada
* Vimeo
Each link provides a short description of what the site has to offer. You will also be able to access the fill list of sites through this post.
And if you are trying to search for a video you might want to try out the Custom Search Engine he has created through Google. This search engine is accessible at this link: http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/08/a-youtube-free-video-search-engine.html
Videos are a great tool to quickly engage students in learning and this list of websites as well as this search engine are great options to put in your toolbox.
So nice to have an update of video resources. Thanks!
I will certainly be sharing this with staff at my school! The list is thorough and gives a brief desciption of each of the sites mentioned. The list is also up-to-date, having just been checked and edited by it's original creator.
