While I had heard about the different online video sources such as Teacher Tube it has been awhile since I checked out these sites and I hadn't looked at ITunesU before. I plan to look through these resources more and find topics to recommend to the teachers I work with. I also plan to add these resources to a library web page.
We have access to Discovery Learning at Rockford. Discovery Learning has several useful features for teachers and students. Many of the videos can be used as short clips allowing for a quick visual presentation on a topic. The service also has full length videos searchable by topic, grade level and standard. The library, classroom features, and management tools are useful for the advanced users.
There are also audio clips that can be used to support topics and presentations.
The audio and video files help present information for the visual learners, the visual resources give us one more tool as teachers to present information to students allowing us more flexibility to support different learning styles.
Discovery Learning also allows students to view clips, so teachers can list clips as additional ways for students to get help and support on topics covered in the classrooms.
Discovery Learning also has many audio and visual clips that are licensed for re-use in presentations and can be edited. This added feature gives students and teachers the ability to manipulate the resource to fit their needs.
