It is not uncommon for teachers learning how to integrate technology in their classrooms to say, "how do I know what I don't know?" Technology is changing rapidly and I understand how intimidating it may be for educators to keep up with innovations. Here is a resource to help you "see" innovation in action.
Teacher TV, a video and resource library website from the UK, is one of those places to help you conquer the "what don't I know" blues. Here is what the site says about learning with their videos.
This website is supported by the UK Department of Education but is managed by an independent media consortium.
The goal of Teacher TV is to provide quality professional development
resources for teachers.
About Teacher TV provides additional information. Teacher TV keeps it simple and the website is easy to navigate and allows for searches by subject and grade level (Stages) to it applicable to all teachers.
While Teacher TV provides outstanding videos for teachers to watch, they depend on teachers sharing videos of best practices in classrooms. The videos are by teachers, for teachers. Teacher TV sponsors video submissions including contests like "Tomorrow's Teacher."
Check out Teacher TV and see what other teachers are doing in their classrooms. It's one way to learn in 2010 that is easy and that you can do anywhere, anytime. I hope you enjoy Teacher TV. I would love to hear what you think about this resource. This site can help you find an answer to what you don't know. Please share your thoughts with a comment.
Happy Friday!
