The Teacher's Video Problem

You found the perfect Khan Academy video for tomorrow's lesson. But:

  • It is 45 minutes long and you only need 10 minutes
  • The key explanation starts at 23:17
  • You want students to focus on specific concepts
  • You need to share it without the YouTube rabbit hole

Sound familiar?

The BrainTube Teacher Workflow

Step 1: Save and Scan

Save any educational video to BrainTube. Within seconds, you get:

  • Full searchable transcript
  • AI-generated chapter breakdown
  • Key concepts extracted automatically

Step 2: Create Focused Collections

Build collections by topic, unit, or class period:

  • "AP Biology Unit 3: Cell Division"
  • "World History: Industrial Revolution"
  • "Algebra 2: Quadratic Functions"

Step 3: Highlight and Annotate

Mark the exact passages students need to focus on. Add your own teaching notes at specific timestamps.

Step 4: Generate Study Materials

Use Content Lab to create:

  • Study guides from curated videos
  • Recall questions for test prep
  • Concept summaries students can review

Step 5: Share with Students

Share collections with a simple link. Students see your curated, annotated content — not the entire YouTube platform.

Real Results

Teachers using BrainTube report:

  • 60% less time spent finding and organizing resources
  • Higher student engagement with annotated content
  • Better test scores when students use recall cards

Beyond Individual Videos

The real power comes from synthesis. When you save 10 videos on the same topic, BrainTube can generate a master document that synthesizes all perspectives. Use it to create comprehensive study guides your students will actually use.
