Technology Colleagues,

The Media Library of Teaching Skills (MLoTS) Team has just  
reorganized, added to, and updated the MLoTS page that has classroom  
and tutorial videos made by others. It now includes links to:

28 Videos on Integrating technology as well as 20 English language  
learning (ESOL/ESL classroom or tutorial) videos and 8   Basic  
Literacy tutorial videos

http://mlots.org/Other_video.html

On the MLoTS main page http://mlots.org you will find four videos  
that the MLoTS Team (David J. Rosen and Owen Hartford) have made,  
including three on vocabulary development and one on adult numeracy.  
We will soon add three more videos that we have recently made in  
Vermont, and another made in Massachusetts.

We will also shortly have a searchable database of all these videos  
that we will invite you to test-drive.

The Media Library of Teaching Skills for adult learning and literacy  
project is a free online digital library of short videos of adult  
education teachers and their classes, intended for use in  
professional development. Each video is an example of a state- 
approved content standard, research-based practice, preferred  
approach, or specific teaching method or skill. In some cases these  
are examples in practice of a particular state's approved curriculum  
frameworks or content standards. The project began in March, 2007,  
and has grown as new videos are added to the online library.

Some of the MLoTS videos were made and edited by the MLoTS Team. Some  
were made by other people and groups. We hope that some videos will  
made by teachers working in pairs or threes, to video each other,  
whom the MLoTS Team will train. Contact us if you are interested in  
this model.

If you know of good classroom or tutorial adult education videos  
(including basic literacy, ABE, ASE, ESOL/ESL, numeracy, and  
transition to Higher Ed) that could be digitized and made available  
(at no cost) in the MLoTS online video library, please let us know.
