30+ YouTube Channels for Teachers

When you want to learn something new these days, most of us head over to YouTube.

You can learn just about anything on YouTube: how to fix your dryer, how to create a blog, or how to use Google Docs.

For students, YouTube is often their first stop when learning a new skill.

Did you know you can also get notifications when new videos have been added by your favorite channels?

Or that you can use YouTube as a curation tool to create playlists for your students?

Today, I am going to share with you some of my favorite YouTube Channels, and some that were shared in the Shake Up Learning community.

Just about all of your favorite educational organization and bloggers have a YouTube channel.

When you subscribe, you can set up notifications when something new has been posted.

Be sure you are subscribed to the Shake Up Learning YouTube Channel to get the latest tutorials and tips!

This is a great way to stay up-to-date with innovative tools like G Suite for Education.
