Video Sharing
YouTube
The biggest and the most famous of the video sharing sites. It’s probably blocked at your school because there is a lot of “inappropriate” stuff on there, but there are also a lot of interesting and useful videos. Maybe you can get your network administrator to unblock it just for the teacher work station.
Berlitz commercial
Here’s the link to the Berlitz commercial on YouTube
Google Video
Google’s version of YouTube. It has some great features – you can add captions, link to a specific time code in a video, etc. If you search for “technology and adult education” you will find some of the OTAN technology integration videos.

6. Online Groups
Yahoo Groups
Create a Web site for a group, class, program, family, you name it. You automatically have a message board, photos, a calendar, file posting. More and more programs are using Yahoo groups to communicate with teachers, and some teachers are creating them for their classes. Be sure not to make your group public, to avoid receiving a lot of spam and other garbage.
Google Groups
Similar to Yahoo Groups. I haven’t really explored this.
