Thanks for watching the premiere episode of the ITM! We know it was a long episode, but we just had so much to say. We promise to make them shorter in the future, and we hope to vary the topics more too. Please be patient as we figure out how to get the most from this great medium. And feel free to send us your ideas and comments!

hi...I from Malaysia here. I am excited to see your first clip. But viewing via google video is not smooth because of the frequent stop during buffering time. I try to download the video clip but it turn out that the link is broken.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe. This is going to be incredible. I will be a regular for sure and share it with all those in my network.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, your 1st episode is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteGreat first episode...I have already sent it out to my Social Studies, Language Arts and Science departments 6-12. Excellent vehicle to help teachers leverage the web!

ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I am going to show this to my staff at our next meeting. Keep new episodes coming.
Chris (and company)... AWESOME! I'm so excited to see the idea come to life! You and the team made a terrific first episode that will inspire many to watch again and again... and not just watch, but use tools for productivity and understanding!
ReplyDeleteVery glad you're out there doing it!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the ITM. I am so inspired.
I love the possibilities of ITM however, in the effort to market their services, Goggle and ITM are missing the point. 1) Teachers do not have time in their schedules to search OR develop creative and entertaining lesson plans, if they are to be focused on the student. 2) American school age young adults are totally conditioned to BE entertained. 3) The educational delivery today must be entertaining and exceed the student’s expectations they have available outside the school. 4) We need a tool(s) which finds the "best-of-the -best" in all subject material and create presentations which engage and ignite the light in all our school age youth. 5) Teachers need to spend more time on understanding classroom delivery, than to continually recreate the wheel in developing so - so lesion plans. Like it or not, teachers must take the "best-of-the-best" presentations and engage the student into the next step.
ReplyDeleteSearch the internet for the introductory lesson in Beginning Algebra. You will find a hundred or so sites. Out of the hundred, you may find two or three that do a respectable job of presenting the first class to the students, but in the end maybe only one which is completely understandable by ALL the students. The internet is not any different than the demographics of our teaching community. You have seen it in your schools....the one math teacher whose students excel above all others. The students deserve the best-of-the-best especially in a public school system which was designed to educate the masses.
Take ITM and create the best - of - the - best presentation in Beginning Algebra and then use the NYC school to help every educator to learn to deliver and fully engage their students.
In short, Google bring together the best-of-the-best material. ITM create the educational presentations. Then show the educators how to choreograph the class and engage the student.
Lastly, you might even find a way to engage the students into entertaining themselves through new and creative educational methodologies. After all moving from being entertained to entertaining oneself through education is a laudable goal.
