Johnlocker.com is a website with video content that anyone can add to the website or use. They call it an anonymous knowledge dump. Anyone can post video clips on here that they feel would help people understand or teach a topic. Anyone can also view the videos for free or use them to teach.
As a principal I could:
- Use this site to do professional development.
- Follow up a training with a reminder video to help teachers try something new or use a new online tool.
- For my teachers, I would suggest using this site not only to find video clips to help them in teaching.
- But also as a place where students can go to learn more about a topic covered in class.
