The MIT/ACS connection

The accessibility to great teaching is on the move. Podcasts from iTunesU and now videos from MIT are adding to the pool of inspired instruction available to all of us (NY Times).

MIT is specifically targeting high school teachers and students with their MIT OpenCourseWare.

World-class lectures about biology, chemistry, and physics are available (and cool!).

M.I.T. professor Walter H.G. Lewin "spends 25 hours preparing each new lecture, choreographing every detail and stripping out every extra sentence" of his physics lectures. "Clarity is the word," he says.

MIT and iTunesU, along with our new access to unitedstreaming and EdVideo bring us quality tools to add to our teaching repertoire.
