TeacherTube learn while watching videos
Specialized YouTube clones are appearing left and right these days. Some have little to offer that goes beyond showcasing a collection of videos, while some offer videos targeting a niche and users who are grateful for not having to search YouTube for the videos that they are interested in and would like to watch.
TeacherTube is one of the better YouTube clones. It concentrates solely on the teaching aspect of videos which means that you will only find videos on TeacherTube that "teach something" to the viewer. This can be how to videos, tutorials, lectures, demonstrations and everything else that provides you with information about a particular subject.
This targeted concept is working very well judging from the views the videos get. Teachertube already got quite a big userbase that is uploading several videos every minute to the website.
You do find lots of interesting categories on TeacherTube; some specially designed to suit the needs of a certain age group, others dealing with a subject like math, social sciences or sciences in general.
Several ways to interact with the community are available. You can vote for videos, comment on them, add them to your favorites or use tags to find new videos. It is also possible to embed videos on your own website which is the same feature that YouTube offers.
I did a search for computer and decided to list the first five results on this page to give you a better understanding of what you will find at Teachertube. Here we go:
- 3D Modeling & Animation for Children
- A Bit of PC Animation History - 1985
- Animation with Flash MX2004 - ani. masking
- Basic Computer Components
- Basic Computer Troubleshooting
This sounds pretty interesting to me, I would probably watch all of them except the Flash MX2004 one because I do not use this program at all.
Update: The site has connection issues right now. It is not clear if this is a temporary issue or something permanent. We will keep an eye on it and inform you either way in the near future.
It appears that it is still available, but seems to have troubles coping with the traffic it receives. The developers of the service have added other media types to it recently, so that you can now access photos, audio files and documents on the site as well.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
