[IAEP] Fwd: Meeting Invitation: What Works Series: How to Use Rich Digital Media to Impact Science Teaching and Learning

[Caroline Meeks]

People interested in content should definitely check out NSDL and WGBH
Teachers' Domain.

One story I would like to see is...

Teacher finds a Nova program or other video they want their kids to see.
But instead of having to devote an entire class period or even 2 periods to
having the kids passively watching the video prjected from the teacher's
laptop, they can assign it for homework.  Right now they can't do that
because kids may not have internet, broadband or computer access at home.
If they tried to have kids all watch a movie streaming in the computer lab
it would likely overwhelm the internet connection to the school.

But in my vision of Sugar and the XS the teacher links  the video into the
Moodle class, Moodle and the School Sever are then smart and just download
it once from the internet.

As kids use their sticks during the day the video is synced to their stick.
They can then watch it on any computer they have access to for homework
time, such as at day care or at home, regardless of the existence or quality
of the internet connection to that computer.

Anyway, if you can't make this talk do check out teachers domain.

Cheers,
Caroline

Description: *

This interactive presentation will demonstrate how to access, download, and
integrate rich media from public television into your STEM curriculum using
FREE, standards-based resources from WGBH’s Teachers’
Domain<http://www.teachersdomain.org>
.

Resources are drawn from award-winning public television shows such as NOVA,
NOVA scienceNOW, and Frontline, and adapted for the K-12 classroom to
include visualizations, rich background essays, discussion questions and
standards alignment.  Participants will hear from a science teacher and how
he uses Teachers’ Domain resources to introduce, reinforce, and engage
students in the  exploration of earth and space science, life science,
physical science and engineering.

Teachers’ Domain is a free digital library created by WGBH – Boston’s public
television station – that uses interactive, digital media (video clips,
interactives, classroom activities, lesson plans, and images) from public
television and its partners to enhance K-12 teaching and learning. No
