Well i suppose i can. I know a huge percentage of the few people that read this blog are people who keep a blog, likely one that i read. For this majority, this post is yesterday’s news - entirely. This one is for the others; there is a lot of buzz right now about TeacherTube, 
and why shouldn’t there be. Video is very in. We have posted a lot of work to YouTube and to UthTV recently , TeacherTube however offers a whole new realm to us. We want to share and give back as well as take what is there. Recently I posted a staff video on Literature Circles that i have been wanting to get out for some time. Early reviews have been great, the people that made the video are incredibly excited with their new found stardom, and i am swamped with requests to help people post or to help people create their next great idea; Can you say “win-win-win?”
The video will be here as soon as it finishes uploading to a supported site (surely TeacherTube will work here soon), but if you just can’t wait click here.
However…i can’t really post on videos without a video, so here is my son cracking up on the way to a friends house Saturday, i got him laughing while we were waiting for my wife, he kept going until she arrived and then kept it up long enough for me to go back inside and get the camera, man is he funny.
We really appreciate you contributing the literature circles video to the TeacherTube community. As a language arts teacher, I was really excited about it and plan to share with teachers in my district who will be implementing lit circles during the last grading period this year. Check out the TeacherTube blog at teachertube.blogspot.com and keep those videos coming!

[...] In March i (like almost every teacher blogger i read) posted about TeacherTube. I also posted a Literature Circles video created by some teachers here at CMS. It has now been viewed just under 18,000 times and has generated some great feedback. On Monday we received an email from Harvey Daniels himself; he had been sent the video, liked it, commmented on it and even gave us some new directions that he and co-author Nancy Steienke are headed in. He is also sending the group a copy of their new book do use in their teaching - AMAZING! Ironically he said in his email: [...]
