Hey, all, I'm a K-4 technology coordinator at University School of<br />
Nashville and I've been asked to take a myopic look at my keyboarding<br />
instruction philosophies. if you are knowledgeable about your school's<br />
touch-typing instruction program, could you take a minute to fill out<br />

Zane Education ( <a href="http://www.ZaneEducation.com">www.ZaneEducation.com</a> ) has in the last 6 days launched the first on-demand online K12 educational video subscription website.<br />

Zane Education ( <a href="http://www.ZaneEducation.com">www.ZaneEducation.com</a> ) has in the last 6 days launched the first on-demand online K12 educational video subscription website.<br />
<br />
The site is currently free to use until December 1st while bug testing is completed and the subscription system is implemented.<br />
<br />
The purpose of the website and our online videos is to provide teachers (and homeschoolers) with an alternative to having to spend hours searching YouTube for videos they can possibly use in the classroom and in the home<br />
<br />
Zane has spent the last 4 years converting their library of 250 K12 educational CD-ROMs into approximately 1000 Flash-based online videos, all of which are now available on the <a href="http://www.ZaneEducation.com">www.ZaneEducation.com</a> website.<br />
<br />
The online videos include 250 curriculum topics and subjects include Art, Music, Literature, History, Geography, Science, Biology, Library Skills, Health and Social Sciences. Each topic is accompanied by online testing facilities in the form of interactive quizzes. This enables the student to watch the video and then test themselves on what they have learned.<br />
<br />
A key feature of our educational videos is that they are subtitled giving the student the option to either listen to the presentation, or watch it on-screen. This enables them to also cater for the requirements of special needs students, students suffering from reading disabilities and sight impairments, as well as students learning English as a second language.<br />
<br />
And so why am I making this posting here?<br />
<br />
Well I would much appreciate some comments or feedback on the following questions:<br />
<br />
1. How useful a resource are online videos for teachers in the classroom?<br />
<br />
2. How many people are aware of the recent research carried out by the Availll Foundation (<a href="http://www.availll.com">www.availll.com</a> ) that appears to demonstrate the potential that subtitled videos have for increasing the reading literacy age level of the student using them as a learning tool? (Their research appears to indicate that subtitled video has the potential to improve the reading literacy age of a student by as much as 12 months in 12 weeks.)<br />
<br />
3. What percentage of teachers are having to resort to spending their own time searching YouTube for videos that may be suitable to use in class?<br />
<br />
4. If our video content was made available for other uses in the K12, in what ways could it be deployed to help improve what is available to teachers and homeschoolers?<br />
<br />
5. In what other ways could our K12 videos be deployed to help improve the standard of K12 education? K12 Websites - What features are important?tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-08-12:649749:Topic:3720932009-08-12T02:14:00.934ZScott Watkinshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/ScottWatkins
Hello everyone. My name is Scott Watkins and I'm the website coordinator at the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education at the University of Oklahoma. I'll be giving a talk in a couple of months to K12 Administrators and Tech Leads regarding what makes a school/district site useful. I'd like to tap into the resources here and see what your thoughts are. Links to examples and any info you can offer would be appreciated.

My top program in at my own university and a brand new program. Only problem is its a 5th year program so I finish my masters by adding 12 more months to my studies, I have to go full time so I can't work. But I really need money to pay for this program. Any suggestions on how a new college grad could get into online teaching?? I'm currently a teaching intern at an independent school in AZ, so I'm big into progressive edu, can anyone help steer me in the right direction???<br />

Hi Everyone -<br />
<br />
Excuse multiple crosspostings to other groups...<br />
<br />
<br />
I've created a <a href="http://lucygrayworkshops.wikispaces.com/">wiki</a> to house materials from workshops I conduct, and my first entry is a set of pages for a general tech integration seminar I'm facilitating this week. Feel free to use materials, make suggestions or add to this collaborative, online document.<br />
