Watchknowlearn.org is a well-organized collection of free educational videos. You are able to browse videos by subject or by grade level (up to eight). Some of the videos are hosted on their site; others are linked to from other sites. Each subject has subcategories, which allows for easier navigation of the site's resources. If you browse by subject area, you can also see the appropriate age range for each video, allowing you to narrow down your search to the appropriate level of your students. Many of these videos can be found by doing a YouTube search or something similar; however, what's wonderful about WatchKnowLearn is that these videos have already been searched for, sorted, and organized. It saves you a lot of time and effort to find what your students need!

I recently used this site during a writing lesson with my students. I quickly made up an "Impromptu Writing" worksheet that asked students to compose simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences in response to a short video. I got the video from WatchKnowLearn. It was called "The Power of Words" and was a short, thought-provoking video, which served as a great catalyst to get the students thinking and writing!
