• This generation collaborates as a core
  ethose.g., in multiplayer web games, with IM, in
  co-laboratories, virtual classrooms, and chat

  where information can be introduced and processed
  and where life, play, entertainment, school, and
  work co-mingle (LibraryJournal.com Born with the

Our goal is to provide an online community for
sharing instructional videos. We seek to fill a
need for a more educationally focused, safe venue
for teachers, schools, and home learners. It is a
site to provide anytime, anywhere professional
development with teachers teaching teachers. As
well, it is a site where teachers can post videos
designed for students to view in order to learn a
concept or skill
