Pay For Teachers: How To Give Another Teacher Money

The web is fascinating to me.  I was so caught up in helping kids learn that I never really thought about the power of it.  

Recently, I woke up.  I created a simple video to use in my classroom about compatible numbers.  I posted it in June so I could use it in my classroom in September.  Well, the year got going (my computers in school weren't working) and I totally forgot about it.  The other day I was just checking the account and it had gotten more than 1,800 hits.  I was shocked.  This is the video.

  

How can this idea get extra pay for teachers?  How can it help teachers make extra money?  I just noticed that after a certain period of time online, YouTube lets you monetize your videos.  That means YouTube will put little ads on them.  If people click the ads, YouTube will pay you a few cents.  I am testing it out.  I am still a teacher who hasn't made any money online?  Is it possible?   
  
A lot of great teachers have years and years of great teaching ideas that never get used in the classroom.  Why not post them online?

Try it!  Teachers should get extra pay for all the hard work they put in after hours.  Not only that, I've discovered that posting videos actually makes your lessons in class better.  

I am still on my mission to make a dollar, but now at least I have some extra lessons that I can use in my classroom.  

The next time you view a great video that you use in class, click on the ad.  Some teacher will get extra pay because of it.  Everyone wins!
