If you haven’t been to the O2 Learn site for a while, you might not know that their awards are back and they are awarding £2,000 every week! They are continuing to help everyone connect to great teaching by creating Britain’s Biggest Classroom via teacher-created content.
See my blog from last year here: http://www.danjjroberts.co.uk/2010/11/05/how-do-you-fancy-winning-50k-for-yourself-100k-for-your-school/
This year, they are thanking every UK teacher who uploads a video lesson to O2 Learn with a free mobile broadband pack. They’re also introducing a weekly Best Lesson award, giving you the chance to win £2000 for you and your school department every week .
To date, O2 Learn has over 1,000 lessons available. All of which are curriculum focused and checked by their “Learning Champions”.
They have also recently introduced ‘Related Video’ functionality to make it even easier to find the lessons that are useful to you.
The competition works like this in 2012:
1. Secondary teachers upload a short video of their favourite lesson to O2 Learn and receive a free mobile broadband pack
2. Thousands of students across the country watch and rate the lessons that are useful to them
3. O2 Learn award prizes to the best lessons every week.
I think it is definitely worth a look!
