A Message from the eTSEO Executive Director
Media-On-Demand
Based on the concept that "Media-On-Demand Is Curriculum-At-Your-Command," eTSEO continues to offer a wide range of multimedia content for K-12 teacher and learning. Chalkwaves Ohio, PowerMediaPlus and Teachers Domain provide teachers with over 70,000 multimedia components, including videos, podcasts, concept clips, audio files, still images and print resources. Most importantly, thanks to funding from eTech|Ohio and the support of the WOUB Center for Public Media and Ohio University, subscriptions to PowerMediaPlus and Teachers Domain are free to every school district in the eTSEO/WOUB region.
OurClassSpace
We are pleased to introduce an exciting new web-based resource for teaching: OurClassSpace was developed for eTSEO by New Vista Concepts and has a growing base of users throughout the state.
OurClassSpace is a safe Virtual, Collaborative Learning Environment designed to improve collaboration, communication and interaction among all the stakeholders in education. OurClassSpace is three products in one.
1.It is a virtual classroom learning environment. Teachers can use Web 2.0 tools to interact with students, parents, administrators and colleagues (within a school, district, or across the world).
2.It is a virtual professional development environment. Collaborate on creating resources with other educators, within a school, district, or among numerous schools/districts.
3.It is a repository of educator-created and reviewed learning resources, to which every user can contribute, improve upon, and implement in their teaching. Teachers can make their materials public on OurClassSpace for use by other educators. Submitted materials can be enhanced and improved upon by OurClassSpace users, thereby improving the resources for everyone in the system.
OurClassSpaceprovides the perfect means to take advantage of investments being made in one-to-one computing by allowing teachers and students to easily collaborate with one another in the new paradigm of the read-write World Wide Web. OurClassSpace is available on a subscription basis with a significant discount for member districts participating in the eTSEO Enhanced Services.
