This site looks like a great resource for educators. You can learn from someone or teach something to others. You can also find and post learning resources. Collaboration can take place between educators. There are too many things to mention. Check out the FREE and advertisement free website.

Video Community for Kids, Powered by YouTube Totlol is a community-moderated video website designed to be enjoyed by those between the ages of 6 months and 6 years. Videos available at Totlol are all intended to be enjoyed by tots. Parents can easily find the content they want without worry about it.

This may be helpful for educators to create a community for a class to create a project while connecting with other screenwriters around the world. I can see this being helpful for English or language teachers.

HotChalk is a collaborative online resource for preK-12 teachers, students and parents. It provides an easy-to-use learning management system accessible by any Internet browser, a media-rich library of teacher-contributed lesson plans and digital content, including audio, video, textbook, and assessment content as well as online professional development for teachers.

I found this an interesting web application. Please Note: HotChalk's online tools and community content are free, but their premium content like NBC News video and McGraw-Hill Education's professional development courses require a paid subscription. They do give you a free trial. Another note: HotChalk covers all preK-12 subjects, including Math, Science, Music, Language Arts, Computers & Internet, Social Studies, Art and Physical Education. Their mission is to improve the lives of teachers.... I have to agree with that goal...
