Educators get TeacherTube

A former Texas principal launched TeacherTube this year so educators could upload their students' videos and share creative lessons while developing an online community.

The site boasts about a million page views a month, drawn in by rapping math teachers and wacky experiments.

More than 9,000 videos have been uploaded and watched by about 40,000 users, including a growing number of New York City educators.

"TeacherTube is a great way to celebrate student work," said Jeblin DelaCruz, who has helped several city public schools create and upload videos. "They love it. It's a MySpace generation, so they're used to creating media."
