Facebook:This is such a versatile tool for teaches to use and utilize. They can follow pages for their school, grade , team or pages just for their subject area/grade nationally. Teachers can also use this to get resources and lesson plan ideas from other teachers as well as have discussions about topics and events happening.
The Teaching Channel: This is a free website that offers thousands of video resources for teachers. Teachers can watch other classroom instruction, lesson plan brainstorm, class activities and so many more. Teachers can comment on videos and have real time conversations with other teachers.This helps many teachers gin new ideas and incite when planning for their classrooms.
I agree that Facebook is a great tool that teachers should utilize! I have never heard of The Teaching Channel before but that is a great way for other teachers to gain experience from other classrooms.
ReplyDeleteThe teaching channel seems like a really helpful PLN! I have never heard of it before reading your post but I can defiantly see how it would be helpful for teachers. I feel like the Teaching Channel is even better than YouTube because it is more concentrated for teachers and has less random videos that circle the web.
ReplyDeletei have never heard of the teaching channel but looks pretty effective and easy to handle
