The TeachingChannel.org was recently featured in the Nov/Dec 2013 issue of ESchool News (p. 54). The site offers hundreds of free videos showing outstanding teaching practices and ideas. Sign up for a free account. Access materials based on subject and grade level. Most videos are short and offer discussion questions, comments and a place for you to write your own notes. Schools across the nation are using the site for professional development on demand, and can also be used to develop a PLN.
A website advertised as a site who those who think they hate math. Captivating opening page can also be viewed as a text index, but that takes a lot of the fun away. The images link to videos. I was drawn into one explaining how to unbox calculators. It was informative and entertaining. I must admit I didn't make it through the entire eight minutes!
