Teachers Domain Collection: Life Sciences, K-12

TeachersDomain.org(W.T.)是一个数字图书馆馆藏，正在开发中，以利用WGBH在生命科学中广泛的广播、视频和互动节目资源，以支持从小学到高中的基于标准的教学和学习。该产品是一个可搜索的、基于Web的多媒体材料存储库，教师可以轻松高效地访问这些材料，以促进自己的专业发展，并丰富学生的课堂活动。WGBH正在扩展这个图书馆，将其从目前的重点放在多样性和适应主题上，以包括跨越整个K-12课程的生命科学的资源。正在编排这些材料，以反映与通常讲授的课堂单元以及目前在州和国家两级适用的成绩标准的一致性。正在对这些多媒体资产进行元标记，并提供大量的上下文信息，以便有效使用。每个档案资源都附带注释、背景文章、标准关联和教案，个性化资源箱和社区讨论板等功能可实现易用性和最大影响。这一倡议源于世界卫生组织对支持全国教育改革努力的长期承诺，这一承诺可能在科学学科领域最为明显。WGBH档案馆拥有丰富的高质量多媒体资料，特别是在科学学科领域。TeachersDomain.org的主要目的是将这些资源从保险库中转移到教师和学生手中，以直接针对他们的教学需求的数字形式。

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.
