Teachers Domain Collection: Life Sciences, K-12

TeachersDomain.org（w.t.），一个数字图书馆收藏，正在开发利用WGBH的广泛的广播，视频和互动编程资源在生命科学，以支持基于标准的教学和学习从小学到高中。该产品是一个可搜索的、基于网络的、结合具体情况的多媒体资料库，教师可以方便地、富有成效地获取这些资料，以促进自己的专业发展，并丰富学生的课堂活动。WGBH正在扩大这个图书馆，从目前的重点放在多样性和适应性的主题，包括跨越整个K-12课程的生命科学资源。这些材料的组织反映了与普通教学单元以及目前在州和国家一级适用的绩效标准的一致性。这些多媒体资产正在进行元标记，并提供广泛的上下文信息，以允许有效使用。注释、背景文章、标准相关性和课程计划伴随着每个存档资源，个性化资源箱和社区讨论板等功能使其易于使用并产生最大影响。该倡议源于WGBH长期致力于支持全国范围内的教育改革努力，这一承诺在科学领域可能最为明显。WGBH档案馆拥有丰富的高质量多媒体资产，特别是在科学领域。TeachersDomain.org的总体意图是将这些资源从金库中取出，并以数字形式直接针对教师和学生的教学和学习需求提供给他们。

TeachersDomain.org (w.t.), a digital library collection, is being developed to harness WGBH's extensive broadcast, video, and interactive programming resources in the Life Sciences to support standards-based teaching and learning from elementary through high school. The product is a searchable, Web-based repository of contextualized multimedia materials that teachers are able to access easily and productively for their own professional development, as well as to enrich classroom activities with students. WGBH is expanding this library from its current focus on the topic of Diversity and Adaptation, to include resources that span the Life Sciences across the entire K-12 curriculum. These materials are being organized to reflect alignment with commonly taught classroom units as well as with the performance standards currently applied at both state and national levels. These multimedia assets are being metatagged and presented with extensive contextual information to allow for effective use. Annotations, background essays, standards correlations, and lesson plans accompany each archival resource, and features such as personalized resource bins and community discussion boards enable ease of use and maximum impact. The initiative grew from WGBH's longstanding commitment to the support of educational reform efforts nationwide, a commitment perhaps most evident in the subject area of science. The WGBH archives are rich with high quality, multimedia assets, especially within the subject area of science. The overarching intent in TeachersDomain.org is to get these resources out of the vaults and into the hands of teachers and students in digital form that is directly targeted to their teaching and learning needs.
