<p> </p> NEW!! On-Demand K12 Online Educational Video Site for Teachers, Homeschool & Students – comments requested please!tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-11-08:649749:Topic:4024292009-11-08T13:30:16.492ZNicholas Teehttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/NicholasTee
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 />

The site is currently free to use until December 1st while bug testing is completed and the subscription system is implemented.<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? Assessment Case Study Ideatag:www.classroom20.com,2009-01-24:649749:Topic:2710232009-01-24T20:26:47.885ZJohn Sowashhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/jrsowash

<br />
This year I have been using a student response system (SRS) to give quizzes to my students each Friday. The SRS set that I have is made by einstruction. I have been fairly pleased with the performance of the system. The hardware works great. The software is a bit quirky.<br />
<br />
The initial response of my students to this system was extremely enthusiastic. They loved it! It brought new life to quiz taking. I used the system all during first semester and have continued this semester. The enthusiasm for the clicker quizzes has cooled considerably, however.<br />
<br />
After several students requested to take paper versions of the quiz instead of using the clickers, I began offering this option to all of my students. Those who preferred paper quizzes said that they didn't like the time limit for each question and had trouble focusing in the noise of the classroom. Because of this request, I now begin by asking if anyone would prefer to take a paper version (the questions are all the same) of the quiz instead of using the clickers.<br />
<br />
This week, about half of my students decided to take the paper version of the quiz instead of using the clickers. What shocked me was that approximately 95% of the students that chose the paper version were girls! I was amazed to see that nearly all of the guys in my class wanted to take the clicker quiz and nearly all the girls preferred the paper quiz!<br />
<br />
During my next quiz I will ask all of my students to take both the clicker quiz and the paper quiz (I will disable the option of showing the correct answer at the end of each question when using the clickers). As I analyze the data I will be looking for a relationship between the quiz delivery method and student performance.<br />
<br />
I'm interested in hearing if anyone has made similar observations when using a SRS system or if you have any suggestions on my case study.

<br />
I've made a learning arcade on our community but I'd like to open up the discussion here about what kind of games/quizzes you make and also to share a few here! Help out some fellow teachers.<br />
<br />
Here's mine reviewing 2008. Students have to guess the month/country and also avoid BAAM or they are bankrupt!<br />
<br />
What games do you have to share?<br />

Hi, I need your help to spread best practice in authoring for elearning. Yacapaca's <a href="http://www.chalkface.com/blog/?p=372">Author of the Year</a> award has just been won by Ralph Holmes, of <a href="http://www.langleyschool.co.uk/">Langley School</a> in Norfolk, UK for a really excellent courses of <a href="http://www.chalkface.com/products/Science/Y911/">Physics assessments</a>.<br />

Hi, I need your help to spread best practice in authoring for elearning. Yacapaca's <a href="http://www.chalkface.com/blog/?p=372">Author of the Year</a> award has just been won by Ralph Holmes, of <a href="http://www.langleyschool.co.uk/">Langley School</a> in Norfolk, UK for a really excellent courses of <a href="http://www.chalkface.com/products/Science/Y911/">Physics assessments</a>.<br />
<br />
Ralph put in a huge amount of work on these, for no external reward whatsoever. The course has been used over 11,000 times by schools around the world and he really deserves far more praise than I can give alone.<br />
<br />
But it is about far more than that. One of the biggest challenges in elearning is getting good, <i>user-created</i> content, in volume. If we are still stuck with commercial content then we continue to suffer a top-down approach, limited choice and no democracy. OTOH, good quality, appropriate, user-created content renders the old publishing model obsolete; Wikipedia showed that.<br />
<br />
How do we do that? Lots of teachers produce their own content, but rewarding them for going that extra - very long - mile to producing consumer-grade content has traditionally been the preserve of commercial publishers. I believe that reward can come a non-financial way - through peer recognition. If the community (that's us in Classroom 2.0, amongst others) consistently makes heroes out of the most dedicated authors, then more, more committed, authors will come forward. The end-point of this virtual spiral is the emergence of Publishing 2.0.<br />
<br />
Now I am asking your help to celebrate Ralph and his fellow nominees. C2.0ers are an influential bunch and it really will make a difference in promoting peer authoring. I am hoping you will write a a post in your own blog (thanks <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6lef4g">Patricia</a>, you beat me to it!). If that is not appropriate, web 2.0 offers dozens of other ways to create heroes!<br />

I've been looking into Hot Lava Software but they charge a monthly fee per user and I'm trying to avoid monthly fees if possible.<br />
<br />
I really appreciate any help at this point,<br />
