Additional request re: Looking for an inspiring online video about teaching

Tagging on to Jim's original message. I am hosting a week long workshop =
for some of my teachers called TIPS (Technology Integration: Practical =
Strategies). The goal for the week is to allow teachers the opportunity =
to play with and explore some of the "educational technology" tools that =
are out there (interactive white boards, document cameras/visual =
communicators, senteo, video cameras, digital cameras, blogs, wikis, web =
2.0, etc). Also, to allow the teachers to be students, learning the =
technology skills through modeling and experience rather than just =
sitting in the audience or just another "normal" in-service. And =
finally, to get them thinking about WHY use technology...is it the best =
method to teach the info...and to provide teachers with some readings to =
inform their choices regarding technology integration.

This is a model I have borrowed from another school, who borrowed from =
another, and so forth. I am trying to not reinvent the wheel, just =
adding some cogs, tweaking it to make it fresh.

That said, if you have any fantastic resources for teachers prek-6, =
inspiring videos, thought provoking quotes, etc. I would love to see =
them.

I am collecting the links on del.icio.us and would be happy to share any =
and all resources I gather.=20

Thanks in advance,
Jayme=20

Hello, Jim,

Dan Meyer has some great videos that are appearing online this summer -- =
I'll link to the tag he's using for all his videos. Currently, he's made =
2 of the 10 videos that will be covering over the summer.=20

http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?cat=3D32

The videos are excellent; the comments are also a great read.

And, fwiw, I make it through somewhere between 15 and 60 seconds of most =
of the swill that passes as video. I've watched the videos from Dan's =
blog multiple times.

Cheers,

Bill
