[ProfessionalDevelopment 2162] Re: More classroom videos added to MLoTSNeedle, Mark D. MNeedle at dadeschools.netTue Jun 10 13:26:32 EDT 2008
Online streaming is an efficient way to distribute professional development videos, but in our district the adult centers also have access to an educational television service that reaches all school and classroom TV's. We want to take advantage of this television service to provide common training to teachers at many different sites (the videos can be broadcast at set times, loaned to schools, or accessed "on-demand" by our teachers or teacher trainers). To do that we're looking for suggestions to build a special collection of professional development DVD's focused on the needs of adult educators. MLoTS is doing a great service by compiling public domain videos in a streaming format, but can these videos be made available for downloading and burning to DVD by local programs? Or are there other recommended sources? We've seen a few sites (www.otan.us, www.floridatechnet.org, and www.abspd.appstate.edu), some of which provide for acquiring videos in DVD format. Between freely distributed and commercial videos, what is the quickest and best route to a basic permanent collection for adult educators?

It now includes: 28 Videos on Integrating technology 20 English language learning (ESOL/ESL classroom or tutorial) videos and 8 Basic Literacy tutorial videos _________________________ 56 short classroom and tutorial videos in Total http://mlots.org/Other_video.html On the MLoTS main page http://MLoTS.org you will find four videos that the MLoTS Team (David J. Rosen and Owen Hartford) have made, including three on vocabulary development and one on adult numeracy. We will soon add three more videos that we have recently made in Vermont, and another made in Massachusetts. We will also shortly have a searchable database of all these videos that we will invite you to test-drive. 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 project began in March, 2007, and has grown as new videos are added to the online library. Some of the MLoTS videos were made and edited by the MLoTS Team. Some were made by other people and groups. We hope that some videos will made by teachers working in pairs or threes, to video each other, whom the MLoTS Team will train. Contact us if you are interested in this 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.
