__READ/WRITE WEB TOOL: [|Teachers TV] __ Teachers TV is an incredible resource for educators. It provides videos, resources, and an active online community. Teachers TV provides a tremendous amount of resources and professional development for anyone who works in a school. The videos are engaging and the resources very practical. Teacher TV provides professional development in all facets of a school community. Educators can broaden their schools and collaborate with others from around the world and in their expertise. Teachers TV allow educators to connect with other educators and open the door to other schools and classrooms. This resource helps teachers to set goals and provides the tools to meet them. I like that the content is current and allows educators access to the latest developments in education.

Teachers Tv [] offers a lot of classroom resources categorized by subject and key stage. For my ELLs, I particularly found the English section useful. Many of the videos can be used as creative writing aids. For example, a dramatic video on dinosaurs can be viewed as a class and then used to develop ideas for a suspenseful story. A video about a science lab can serve to create an adventure story. The images, video, and sound in each video can motivate even the most reluctant writers to get involved in the writing process. Such videos are especially beneficial for ELLs as they help to develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in a fun and engaging way.
