Life in a Technology Embedded Classroom: Science http://t.co/2T936NQP via @zite

"Learner Express is a gallery of short video modules distilled from over 350 hours in the Annenberg Learner Collection. The science topics are useful in a STEM-based curriculum, while the math topics align with the Common Core Standards. You can quickly locate 1-5 minute videos to enhance classroom or professional learning. Indexed, annotated, and linked to related resources, Learner Express embodies the best of just-in-time learning."

MIT has launched an initiative encouraging its students to produce short videos teaching basic concepts in science and engineering. The videos - aimed at younger students, in grades from kindergarten through high school - will be accessible through a dedicated MIT website and YouTube channel. A subset of the videos will also be available on Khan Academy, a popular not-for-profit educational site founded by an MIT alumnus.
