I can't count the amount of times I'm engaging in conversation and I use videos to help better explain a specific topic or point. I've done this chatting with friends and in formal settings like a classroom presentation. Like most people, I generally default to YouTube! for my video needs. This is usually suitable for breaking down the elements of an incredible touchdown pass or illustrating the environment at a concert I recently attended. But what about when I'm trying to teach someone about how inflation rates can affect the economy? Sure, YouTube! will provide the visual I need, but how many unrelated videos would I have to dig through to find the hidden gem?

Recently I came across EducationalVideos.com, a site that compiles all educational videos into one place. It doesn't have nearly the amount of videos as YouTube!, but it is specific to education and has potential to be a niche site for online colleges looking to reach students with instructional videos.

Let's say a student is in an online degree program that requires a web development course. A video like the one below, found at EducationalVideos, is a great recap of the basics for using animations with Photoshop.

The video was originally placed on YouTube!, but EducationalVideos did the legwork of retrieving it and adding it to a category dedicated to technology and learning. Yes, this site is still a small fish in a big pond, but I like their chances of becoming a trusted, reliable source of educational videos in due time.
