Professional Development Colleagues,

In addition to the nearly 60 short classroom and tutorial videos  
linked on the Media Library of Teaching Skills (MLoTS) Other Adult  
Learning Videos web page at

http://mlots.org/Other_video.html

we have added to the main page three new videos that we made in Vermont

http://mlots.org

These include: an ESOL classroom where students actively practice the  
present continuous tense and also learn about baseball; a class  
learning a Writing to Learn strategy, and a test prep tutorial.  We  
will also soon be adding a video of an ESOL classroom in  
Massachusetts, and a searchable database of all these videos.

The Media Library of Teaching Skills for adult learning and literacy  
project is a free online digital library of short videos of adult  
education teachers and their classes, intended for use in  
professional development. Each video is an example of a state- 
approved content standard, research-based practice, preferred  
approach, or specific teaching method or skill. In some cases these  
are examples in practice of a particular state's approved curriculum  
frameworks or content standards. The online library project began in  
March, 2007, and has grown as new videos are added.

The videos on the main page were made and edited by the MLoTS Team.  
The linked videos, http://mlots.org/Other_video.html , were made by  
others. This year we hope that some teachers,  whom the MLoTS Team  
will train, will video each other's classrooms. Contact us if you are  
interested in this teacher-made, professionally-edited video model.

If you know of good classroom or tutorial adult education videos  
(including basic literacy, ABE, ASE, ESOL/ESL, numeracy, and  
transition to Higher Ed) that could be digitized and made available  
(at no cost) in the MLoTS online video library, please let us know.
