Thanks much, Gail. That does come to eight. I was also looking for the walking lesson in Boston--whcih sounds like an ESOL topic, that area being my particular interest. I'm hoping to hear from David eventually.

Take care,
betty

Hi Betty,
I am not absolutely sure this is the answer—-maybe David Rosen will disagree with me, but this is what I see.

The statement says there are eight original adult literacy education classroom videos— ESOL/ESL, reading, writing, numeracy/mathematics, and adult secondary education. When you go to the Web site, you do only see six categories, but there are three separate videos or three segments in the reading category when you click on the picture in the video column. Three there plus five more would make eight.

Does that make sense?

Have been enjoying the MLOTS videos--and have a question. The intro refers to 8 videos, but I only see 6 on the page with the thumbnails. Thanks for your help in locating the other two.

Good morning.

I saw this announcement from David Rosen on the Professional Development discussion list—perhaps you did, too—and I thought the videos would be something many of you would be interested in. So, with David’s permission, I am sharing his announcement with you.


The Media Library of Teaching Skills (http://www.mlots.org<http://www.mlots.org/> or just type "mlots" in your browser) now has eight, original adult literacy education classroom videos, and links to 25 adult literacy education videos on other web sites. The MLoTS videos include ESOL/ESL, reading, writing, numeracy/mathematics, and adult secondary education. The latest addition is an ESOL class in a neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. The lesson focuses on food vocabulary and verb tenses. All the videos are free and stream online. The MLoTS videos are based on state curriculum standards or frameworks or on other best practices. They are intended for teacher professional development. They can be used as part of face-to-face or online courses, workshops, or study circles, and can also be accessed by individual teachers who on their own want a "window" to look in on other teaching colleagues' classrooms and teaching practices.

If you look at or use these videos we would like to hear what you think. If you are interested in making classroom videos in your state, please let us hear from you.
