"Swivl helps you stop losing the learning content your institution creates by making it easy to capture video while you teach."

Teaching Channel is a video showcase -- on the Internet and TV -- of inspiring and effective teaching practices in America's schools. We are a nonprofit organization. We believe what makes teachers inspiring is how they became experts-the hours and years they've dedicated to improving their craft to benefit their students. We're working everyday to capture their techniques on video so that all teachers-new or seasoned-have a place to find inspiration. Of course you could just lean back and admire great stories, but we also provide tools to take a few notes, trade ideas, and even build your own personal workspace. And because we know teaching is not one-size-fits-all, we tailored our technology so you can find what works best for you.

I am flipping my staff professional development sessions also. Teachers watch training videos on their own. Then I use screen-o-matic to capture crucial points of a handout I distribute and assign mini homework lessons prior to meeting. Then when we all get together, I use a Google doc form to get quick responses to kick off table talk. Teachers seem to llike that they can go at their own pace of learning prior to meeting.
