MIT has launched a new site - here is the press release form Big Deal Media:
(Blended Learning Open Source Science or Math Studies) to help
students engage in a meaningful way with STEM subjects. BLOSSOMS
uses free video segments to build on math and science fundamentals
by relating abstract concepts to the real world. Educators and
professionals contribute their knowledge and learning to an open
database that anyone can access. Every 50-minute lesson is a
complete resource that includes video segments, a teacher’s guide,
downloadable handouts, and a list of additional online resources
relevant to the topic. BLOSSOMS uses a “teaching duet pedagogy”
model, in which a teacher will help students solve problems
before passing the baton to another teacher for a brief video lesson.
From my quick survey- it looked pretty interesting. While it is geared
to grades 9-12- I’m sure some you could modify resources to work
with younger students.
