What Is The Great Teaching Ideas Video Project?

"You can speak a thousand words with one picture." That's the idea behind the Great Teaching ideas Video Project, SuccessLink is currently videotaping a select number of lesson plans and placing them online in a "streaming video" format to compliment the text version of the lesson. The video-clips are approximately 3 - 4 minutes long and contain footage of teachers and students interacting in the classroom. To view a sample video clip click here.

Lessons which have an accompanying videoclip display a "video-clip" icon at the top-right of the page. To view the video lessons you must have Windows Media Player 8 or higher installed on your computer. For the best results, we recommend Windows Media Player 9. To download the free version of Windows Media Player, click on the button below.

For users with a dial-up connection (28.8kb/ps, 33.6 kb/ps or 56.6kb/ps) it may take approximately 30 minutes to download & install the player application.

If you have contributed a lesson plan and would like to participate in the Great Teaching Ideas Video Project or you have questions or comments about streaming video you can contact Georgi Forman at 888-636-4395 or send an e-mail to gforman@successlink.org
