<p>hi there! I'm Meg, a product and marketing consultant for Edtech companies. I love the space, and my most impactful project to date was building and launching the NYC Department of Ed's first ever remote learning management system, iLearnNYC, which is still very much in use today. Right now I'm looking to get feedback on how/when your school or institution (daycare, camp, etc) may return onsite in some capacity.

<p>hi there! I'm Meg, a product and marketing consultant for Edtech companies. I love the space, and my most impactful project to date was building and launching the NYC Department of Ed's first ever remote learning management system, iLearnNYC, which is still very much in use today. Right now I'm looking to get feedback on how/when your school or institution (daycare, camp, etc) may return onsite in some capacity. I'm working with a startup that has created a remote health check-in screening app for parents and staff to attest to their health before they come onsite. If you are preparing for this scenario as a school, camp, childcare center, etc --> we'd appreciate ~3 min of your time to tell us about your needs.

<p>Today, obesity is a common problem even among kids. According to a new study published in New England Journal of Medicine, about 50% of children that deemed obese in eighth grade were obese before even they entered kindergarten.

<p>Hi everyone. I'm helping to prepare a program for Grade 5/6 students which aims to promote physical health and emotional wellbeing. Part of the program involves exploring the differences between the lifestyles of children today and those of children in past generations. We thought it would be great for students to hear the experiences of real people in past generations and make their own comparisons.<br/><br/>So we've started up a VoiceThread on the topic and we'd like to invite you to share your stories of when you were growing up. There are 10 questions altogether and you can add your comments in using audio, video, text or drawings - it's up to you!

Zane Education ( <a href="http://www.ZaneEducation.com">www.ZaneEducation.com</a> ) has in the last 6 days launched the first on-demand online K12 educational video subscription website.<br />

Zane Education ( <a href="http://www.ZaneEducation.com">www.ZaneEducation.com</a> ) has in the last 6 days launched the first on-demand online K12 educational video subscription website.<br />
<br />
The site is currently free to use until December 1st while bug testing is completed and the subscription system is implemented.<br />
<br />
The purpose of the website and our online videos is to provide teachers (and homeschoolers) with an alternative to having to spend hours searching YouTube for videos they can possibly use in the classroom and in the home<br />
<br />
Zane has spent the last 4 years converting their library of 250 K12 educational CD-ROMs into approximately 1000 Flash-based online videos, all of which are now available on the <a href="http://www.ZaneEducation.com">www.ZaneEducation.com</a> website.<br />
<br />
The online videos include 250 curriculum topics and subjects include Art, Music, Literature, History, Geography, Science, Biology, Library Skills, Health and Social Sciences. Each topic is accompanied by online testing facilities in the form of interactive quizzes. This enables the student to watch the video and then test themselves on what they have learned.<br />
<br />
A key feature of our educational videos is that they are subtitled giving the student the option to either listen to the presentation, or watch it on-screen. This enables them to also cater for the requirements of special needs students, students suffering from reading disabilities and sight impairments, as well as students learning English as a second language.<br />
<br />
And so why am I making this posting here?<br />
<br />
Well I would much appreciate some comments or feedback on the following questions:<br />
<br />
1. How useful a resource are online videos for teachers in the classroom?<br />
<br />
2. How many people are aware of the recent research carried out by the Availll Foundation (<a href="http://www.availll.com">www.availll.com</a> ) that appears to demonstrate the potential that subtitled videos have for increasing the reading literacy age level of the student using them as a learning tool? (Their research appears to indicate that subtitled video has the potential to improve the reading literacy age of a student by as much as 12 months in 12 weeks.)<br />
<br />
3. What percentage of teachers are having to resort to spending their own time searching YouTube for videos that may be suitable to use in class?<br />
<br />
4. If our video content was made available for other uses in the K12, in what ways could it be deployed to help improve what is available to teachers and homeschoolers?<br />
<br />
5. In what other ways could our K12 videos be deployed to help improve the standard of K12 education? sleeptag:www.classroom20.com,2007-10-23:649749:Topic:648352007-10-23T15:23:22.349ZConnie Weberhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/connieweber

<br />
from the article:<br />
"Now, a small group of neuroscientists is arguing that at least one vital function of sleep is bound up with learning and memory. A cascade of new findings, in animals and humans, suggest that sleep plays a critical role in flagging and storing important memories, both intellectual and physical, and perhaps in seeing subtle connections that were invisible during waking —"<br />
<br />
It reminds me talk to the students about the importance of sleep. If sleep is so critically important to learning, shouldn't it be part of the curriculum, or anyway, part of what we discuss in class? Does anyone know a good way to get this across? (I'm not sure it's even part of the <i>health-ed</i> curriculum...going to have to investigate that!)

We're looking for a health/PE teacher who can help create a virtual, unitized, digital program. We'd like to have some network in place where any teacher (or homeschool teacher) can implement basic rules of sports, or work with kids in basic demonstrations of nutrition, stretches, workouts, etc.<br />

My partners and I have strong health care backgrounds and have previously produced healthy lifestyle interactive field trip programs for students in grades 3 - 8.

If anyone out there would like to participate in the development and beta testing of this curriculum, we'd welcome your expertise, experience and suggestions. We have just gone live (secure server) with a very very preliminary version of the site (it's more like a shell right now), but will be adding content and features frequently as we push the site towards version 1. If you would be interested in helping, we promise great accolades and immense credit - and maybe even a free t-shirt too (we’d offer a bigger incentive, but we're building this on our own limited time and resources). If you would like to learn more or participate in our beta test (hopefully this fall), please email me at the address below. Thanks!<br />

PS: we created this curriculum in an effort to help curb the growing epidemic of obesity and related health conditions in young people. We just started a blog on this issue too: <a href="http://getfitkids.blogspot.com/">http://getfitkids.blogspot.com/</a>
