SchoolTube--A New Media Sharing Website

The National Association of Elementary School Principals has launched SchoolTube, a "safe, friendly environment" for student and teachers to showcase activities and accomplishments. It is a free media sharing website that is offers organizations video services including uploading, storing and managing contests.  It also provides information for educators wanting to use technology in the classroom with tutorials, lesson plans, and advice.

It will be interesting to watch if this site takes off as a reasonable alternative to YouTube, a site that has some materials not suitable for the classroom. The big question mark is whether or not it will make it past the filtering process in school districts.
