Advancing Excellent Teaching in American Schools -- free videos

I just found out about this source for free teaching videos. Here is the information the Annenberg Foundation provides: "Annenberg Media uses media and telecommunications to advance excellent teaching in American schools. This mandate is carried out chiefly by the funding and broad distribution of educational video programs with coordinated Web and print materials for the professional development of K-12 teachers. It is part of The Annenberg Foundation and advances the Foundation's goal of encouraging the development of more effective ways to share ideas and knowledge.

Annenberg Media's multimedia resources help teachers increase their expertise in their fields and assist them in improving their teaching methods. Many programs are also intended for students in the classroom and viewers at home. All Annenberg Media videos exemplify excellent teaching.

Annenberg Media resources can be accessed for FREE at Learner.org, or can be purchased through the Web site or by calling 1-800-LEARNER."

My professional listserv also offered this information: "We've discovered that these are best viewed in Internet Explorer. Closed Captions are available. One-time individual registration (free) is required. " Hope you find this useful...let me know!
