Truetube provides a safe, pre-moderated platform for 12-25 year olds to use the internet and advances in streaming video technology, to encourage them to think, discuss and engage with moral and ethical issues that matter for this generation, inspiring them to become involved in changing the world that we all inhabit for the better.
Truetube kick-starts each new topic for debate by providing a wealth of short films, information and statistics which offer a range of polarised views on the same issue and are deliberately chosen to start a debate, inspire involvement and promote further research. It also enables users to make and upload their own films and comments made in response to what they have viewed.

Even better for us teachers is that they have ready made resources and how to get the best out of Truetube for a number of subject areas including English, Citizenship, Religious Education and Geography.
This is a great site to provoke discussion and act as a focus for an activity where an end product can be produced.
