Videos by Teachers

YouTube has revolutionized the old notion of home movies and in the process is changing the way people share information and stories. Now that it's easy for just about anyone to make and upload a video to the Internet, teachers and school administrators are finding many uses for video instruction.

Training Videos for Teachers
At ECOT, the first online school to use the IQity learning management platform, administrators have created a video to show teachers how to perform a specific task related to the class roster.

The ECOT video is hosted on TeacherTube, a kind of YouTube for educators. Teachers can use the site to upload or download videos for their classes. One downside to using TeacherTube, though, is that the videos are not necessarily aligned with state standards. Using IQity's REACTOR will be a much better option, since teachers will be certain that the videos they download for class use have been reviewed by a panel of educators for alignment purposes.

Teachers will also be able to make their own videos and upload them to REACTOR. Once the video has been confirmed to be aligned with state standards, it will be available for other teachers to download and use. And the teacher who created it will receive a small payment each time that happens. Cool!
