Whatrsquos There Online library of free short videos for students teachers and learners created by students teachers and learners Freedom to Use These videos are all free for students teachers and educators The videos are all under 5 minutes (one of the Next Vistarsquos main stipulations) so that you can find relevant video that fit well into a discussion and donrsquot abuse the attention span of viewers Videos are all created by other learners so students get to watch other students not adults Did I also mention that the entire site is free Videos all include a handy download link for offline usage
Whatrsquos There Hundreds of thousands of public domain video clips films community submitted clips and older historical news reels Freedom to Use rdquoNear unrestrictedrdquo use of the videos on this site is its main selling point Some videos are only available for streaming but all downloadable videos are in the public domain and available for use in any media projects I was first drawn to this site for itrsquos amazing collection of those old corny instructional films and public service announcements but have used it for much more since then There are thousands of great short video clips in the Arts category that would be useful for abstract video backgrounds during student news casts From sports videos to animations and cartoons therersquos a LOT to dig through Some of the content might be more appropriate for older students so check it out before heading there with your class

Whatrsquos There Public Domain video clips from a number of different US National Parks and Monuments Freedom to Use Public Domain video means you can download remix republish and use this video in any media project you want to This site has great footage for shots of nature and famous landmarks monuments and parks around the US so it would work well for video reports video essays or just some really nice scenery All of the footage is professional quality and available in H264 format so itrsquos highly compatible with lots of software
