YouTube is usually the first site most people think of when they are looking for a classroom video. Here is a list of other video sites your students can learn from.
Don't forget about our Lubbock ISD district resources that we have paid for. Check with the Professional Development department for usernames and password.

Here are some free alternatives.
Hopefully some of these will give you the idea to have your students create videos.
The Futures Channel - subscribers have access to wide range of STEM oriented video programs
HippoCampus - resources for Math, Science, Social studies, and the humanities. Middle school and up
HowStuffWorks - Not all educational, but would be good for questions, research prompts. It is part of the Discovery Company.
The Internet Archive - Has more than just movies and videos, their goal is to provide historical collections that exist in digital format
Khanacademy - Create your login to access this vast video library covering topics in math, science, economics, and the humanities
MathTV - Great math tutorial videos from basic math through Calculus
Minute Physics - cool physics and other sweet science in short video clips
MITVideo - Video of MIT lectures, events, and academic content
NeoK12 - A variety of videos collected covering curriculum areas. Many videos have activities already created to go with the video. Does pull videos from other resources such as YouTube so check those filtering policies.
NextVista - mostly student and teacher created videos about a variety of topics
PBS - Create a free PBS account and enjoy the videos PBS offers
ResearchChannel - A YouTube channel that has gathered videos from research and academic institutions.
SchoolTube - Similar to YouTube, but without all of the distracting clutter YouTube produces
SnagFilms - I include this one because there are documentary films that you might not be able to find on these other video sites.
TeacherTube - Also Similar to YouTube, but strictly education and the videos are approved by educators.
TV SchoolHouse - A site of old educational films that have been digitized. Take a journey back in time
WatchKnowLearn - approximately 50,000 educational videos, placed into a directory of over 5,000 categories. This site does pull from YouTube so filtering policies could block some sites.
Sites more for teachers than students
The Educator's PLN - A collection of videos covering educational topics
Open Thinking Wiki - A collection of videos for technology and media literacy
Sites for PD - Wes Fryer has collected video links to great videos to use for PD
TCH Teaching Channel - For teachers to showcase effective teaching practices. Great for Professional Development
TED - over 1500 talks "to stir your curiosity"
