SchoolTube is for students, teachers, administrators, parents, school boards, IT managers, and school affiliates. SchoolTube is unique in that all the content that is uploaded is held in queue, until the moderator (teacher) has approved the work, at which time it can be made public. It’s very similar to moderating comments in your blog. I’m still reviewing the site myself but from what I can tell already this is a resource that answers many of the concerns educators have regarding “open sharing”.

Join this live seminar with your class on Monday 18 August at 9.20am!
Primary and Secondary teachers and students, Grade 4 and up
with Speaker Dr. Mark Norman

Earlier this month, Melbourne Museum held its first ever public dissection of the largest giant squid Australian researchers have encountered. In this seminar, world-renowned squid expert and Deputy Head of Science at Museum Victoria, Dr Mark Norman, will be talking about what was learned in the public dissection and how it might contribute to greater awareness and understanding of these little-known and rarely seen deep-sea creatures.

This seminar follows our hugely successful “Meet the Motherfish” seminar with Dr John Long where we had more than six teacher-led classes join us online giving their kids a chance to speak direct to Dr Long. This second Science Superstars event is a great opportunity for science teachers to attend with their classes by joining in via electronic whiteboards. Participants will get an opportunity to talk direct with Dr Norman about the squid and what it can teach us.

Where: Online in Elluminate.
