Collaboration

=Collaboration between ET’s and Teachers=

Just wanted to make you all aware that DoDEA has purchased a dedicated Channel on SchoolTube, a moderated and safe video sharing site for educators and students. Find DoDEA's Channel here:
 * How can we showcase technology integration and ET/Teacher collaboration? Collaboration Tools: Ning, Intersect, Wikis, Other? []
 * How DoDEA ‐ Americas Teachers sign up for a free teacher account on SchoolTube []

School Tube: []

All content on the SchoolTube site, unlike youtube and other video sharing sites, has to go through a moderation process before it goes live. Videos uploaded to the DoDEA Channel are checked before publishing, so it is ensured that they are safe.

Furthermore, teachers and educators in the field can create their own free teacher channels where they, and their students, can upload videos.

I'm attaching two pdf files to this post that explain the process and show you how to create your own channel and how to tag your content so that it appears in the main DoDEA channel. As a channel owner you will be responsible for moderating and approving content uploaded to your channel.

Please select the pdf that matches your geographic location. The international pdf is geared towards educators in Europe and the Pacific and the other for educators in the Americas.

=Collaboration Tools =

[|https://docs.google.com] - Sharing in Google Docs lets you collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings with other people in real-time. It also prevents you from ever having to send an email attachment again. You can share your docs with as many or as few people as you like -- and it's all under your control. You can assign a visibility option to a doc and share with people in just one step.

[] - EtherPad is an online document collaboration tool which works in real time.

[] - TodaysMeet helps you embrace the backchannel and connect with your audience in realtime. Encourage the room to use the live stream to make comments, ask questions, and use that feedback to tailor your presentation, sharpen your points, and address audience needs.

DCO - [|Defense Connect Online] DoDEA members can create and host online trainings and collaboration sessions using the DCO (Defense Connect Online). To create a session, you will need your CAC to login. DCO provides a whiteboard, chat, breakout rooms, audio, video, screen sharing and more. See the DCO page on this wiki for more information.
