My Take
I think it is a great way to incorporate video into the classroom without having to rely on Youtube becuase it is a more closed site.Schooltube is a great source to use when you need students to access videos relevant to concepts you are discussing. It is a more secure or monitored site than youtube.
How I Use It
This product is a great source for accessing videos relevant to your classroom lessons, or for uploading student created videos. Students do not have read or cannot upload comments that may be offensive to some. Students and teachers can search channels based on the subject or topic they are discussing. Teachers may also upload videos of a class discussion or lecture for students to review at home.

I have found that sometimes it is more difficult to find more meaningful videos on this site. I used these videos to introduce a lesson. If I am trying to enhance a lesson to create a deeper understanding of a concept, I will use Ted Ed or YouTube.
