WatchKnow is both a resource for users and also a non-profit, online community that encourages everyone to collect, create, and share free, innovative, educational videos.
WatchKnow is now officially launched, after being developed for over a year. Whether you’re a student, a parent, a teacher, or just someone who cares about the education of children, you can now use our service and get involved to make it even better. Please sign up! (But did you know that you can add new videos to our system without signing up? They’ll have to be approved first.)
There is no better online cause than the future of our children. And just imagine how fantastic it would be if there were a resource online we could go to, or send our kids to, that would explain every topic they study in school instantly and reliably. Many of the resources needed for such a site already exist online; they just need to be organized.

SqoolTube Educational Video Site looks like it has excellent content; however, most of the videos will not play here at school because You Tube is blocked. See below.
One way you can access these videos if your school or district is blocking YouTube content is to use an online video download and conversion service such as those listed below. These sites allow for downloading the YouTube videos with educational content to your local computer for play back.

Click on the menu button in the lower right corner of the player to find the url for the video. All of the download services listed above require that you enter the url.
