TeacherTuBe:教師教學視訊分享平臺是提供一個分享教學視訊的線上社群,從而滿足教師、學校以及在家學習者需求,提供一個更以教育為中心的、更安全的管道。
Teachertube為教師提供了一個隨時隨地通過教師來教教師的方式,促進教師專業發展。不僅如此,在Teachertube上,教師可以釋出專門為學生設計的幫助學生掌握一個概念或技能的視訊節目。
Teachertube於2007年3月6日上線。它是由一位具有14年教育工作經驗的人——傑森•史密斯(Jason Smith)策劃建立的。基於教育工作者對教育實踐中非常有價值的、安全可靠的Web2.0網站實際需求,在經歷了用其他方法在全校範圍內分享視訊節目的挫折之後,傑森•史密斯,這個曾擔任得克薩斯麥肯尼公立學校教師、教練、校園管理者以及學區管理者,具有14年經驗的教育工作者,和他的弟弟亞當(Adam)一起,開發並建立了這樣一個類似於Youtube、但只提供教育相關視訊的視訊分享網站。隨後,傑森•史密斯的妻子朱迪(Jodie)也加入進來,通過她自己的TeacherTueb部落格來幫助推動這個網站。朱迪也是一位曾擔任過教師、校園技術支援和學區課程協調員等職務的、具有14年教育工作經驗者。
After beta testing for almost two months, TeacherTube officially launched on March 6, 2007. Our goal is to provide an online community for sharing instructional videos. We seek to fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, schools, and home learners. It is a site to provide anytime, anywhere professional development with teachers teaching teachers. As well, it is a site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill.
TeacherTube was the idea of Jason Smith, a 14-year veteran educator. Jason has been a teacher, coach, campus administrator and district administrator in public schools. He asked the question, “Why can’t teachers, students, and schools utilize the power of the read/write web for learning?” To overcome barriers, he decided to just create a site and get started trying to help. He turned to his brother, Adam, who is a younger, digital native, with technical skills. Adam used his skills to develop the site and found a web host. Soon, Jason’s wife, Jodie, joined the team to start populating the site with videos and help improve the communication. She too has 14 years of experience in education as a classroom teacher, campus technology integrator, and district curriculum coordinator.
