WHAT A TEACHER WANTS: The Teaching Channel is a sparkling treasure box of free videos that showcase inspiring and effective teaching projects. (Tch is a nonprofit site that debuted last year.) Think smart, to-the-point videos on a growing collection of subjects. Two examples: improving speaking skills with poetry podcasting and edible science projects.) Tch even offers a free lesson planner. Recently more than 380 teachers and educators weighed in to the Teaching Channels' first survey to spell out what teachers want from this clever resource: more videos with examples of how to differentiate lessons, engage students, make sense of the Common core as well as do assessment and planning. That's a wrap!
