Learning Side by Side

Another professional development opportunity. Another time to gain knowledge. But this has not been just another week. At Teach the Teachers Collaborative from July 20-25, Los Angeles Unified School District teachers spent time synthesizing delivery of science content through the use of podcast episode development.

It all began with a keynote presentation by Dan Schmit of Intelligenic. You can view his presentation here, which was captured through Ustream.tv (thank you Youssef Elias for setting up the recording).

Throughout the week, participants also found themselves published throughout the web. Here are some links to those areas.

• CaMSP Thacher 2008 (Cellblock photosharing/videosharing site organized by Janice Stearns)
• 2008 TTTC Interviews (YouTube video posted by Dan Schmit)
• Ojaipod (YouTube video posted by Dan Schmit)
• 2008 TTTC Podcasts (link to a sampling of participant podcast recordings)

In conclusion, the week served as an example of what can be achieved when educators not only learn the content but share the content among their colleagues and the rest of the world.
