Hello and welcome to the Schools Tube (schoolstube) (ScHoOls tUbE) blog, this will highlight the development of the Schools Tube concept, idea, and progression of the site as it grows.
Schools Tube is an innovative way for educators to share their video and audio resources online, much in the way that YouTube works, but for schools, colleges and educational establishments.
Based in the UK, we are starting out on the road of development for the site, idea and business.
Originally conceived back in 2005 while working as an e-learning developer at North West of England University, the idea of allowing an educational upload and sharing service, was born in competition to a then fresh faced YouTube.
YouTube, grew and grew and grew and the idea was put on hold.
The BBC then decided to launch its iPlayer, and again a hold was placed on the idea.
But after much debate, talk of the benfits and reasons to make a go of it, plus a well thumbed copy of Sir Richard's "Screw it lets do it" the idea was progressed to a development stage.
Two versions later, hair pulling and loss of sleep has now produced the http://www.schoolstube.com site.
Which is still in a "Soft launch" as I am aware of issues which need looking into.
