I really like You Tube and Teacher Tube. You may be surprised why. You Tube has some wonderful travel videos that are great for letting kids see differentl places around the world. If we are truly trying to help them understand others culturally we must give the the chance to see and interact with that culture. Some of these are great ways to introduce student as young as first of Kinder to people and places in South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, etc. They are so curious at that age.
I also recently did a lesson on weather - there was an awesome 5:00 video about hail. So many of our kids have not ever seen hail and to be able to pull that and show that to them is great.
Teacher Tube also has some awesome videos as well as Google video.
I am not going to post a link but I am going to try to post a video clip.

I found this one through google. This would be great to share with students. I can do this with You tube vids at home and then save them and show them at school.
This is a great resouce. I was also able to make a copy of the video as well.
One of the things that is important to remember - you may want to make a copy of the video and embed your copy because lots of people are not careful with their language when they are video tapping. We found several great vids on hail but could use NONE of them because of the foul language.
