The Teaching Channel

Teaching is much more complicated than it looks and having websites such as the Teaching Channel helps take off some of the pressure of teaching. It connects teachers together and gives them the opportunity to learn from each other.  The Website is free for anyone to use. It also has Teaching Channel Teams which is a private professional learning platform for specific districts, subjects and classrooms. For example all the 3^rd grade teachers in one district can collaborate and share Ideas with each other. There is even an app to make it easier for teachers to share what their students are learning and collaborate within their teaching channel teams. They even have an award-winning library of videos offered to teachers. Teaching Channel offers a Q&A where teachers can ask a range of questions to other teachers. If there is a lesson plan you would like to try you can save it to your workspace which is like your dashboard and you can set an email reminder of when you would like to use the lesson. When you fill out the information part (ex: what grades you teach) you will get alerts about videos relating to your information. If you download the “save to Tch” tool on to your toolbar you can save any link from other website onto your teaching channel workspace.
