Totally Tubular?

Who ever said teaching was cool? The theatrics employed to giddy-up interest and retention can be, well, lame. Not everyone can be in the zone five days a week, and when some of us think we're in it, our students make it clear we're out—way out—of it. So why not pass the buck and make a laughing stock of some other teach who's trying really, really hard to make it stick? (Remember: laughter is a powerful distraction from pain.) Mrs. Burk could do that for you. Easy.

But be careful. Ms. Robinson is so cool that after getting it down with her, your students will never listen to you again.

Either way, TeacherTube lets you step off the stage—or, if you want to expand your audience, you can project your teacher-virtuality far and wide. And given the proper paperwork, you could shine a spotlight on the real stars and make that student's science experiment that almost caught her lab partner's hair on fire school-famous.
