Lauren Panton's Profile

I'm the Manager for Instructional Technology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA. I've been in the field of educational technology for over 10 years and worked in K-12 and higher education institutions. I'm interested in social networking tools that build community, support differentiation.

I am interested in my cat (Wilbur),teaching,learning,traveling,hiking,technology.

I use Diigo because it is a fantastic research, bookmarking and social networking tool. I've been using Diigo for almost 2 years now and it keeps getting better.

    • he Internet is full of useful information, but it's disorganized and often unreliable. Despite its problems, the potential of the Internet for education is especially huge.
      Imagine tapping into that potential.



      Imagine collecting all the best free educational videos made for children, and making them findable and watchable on one website. Then imagine creating many, many more such videos.



      Just think: millions of great short videos, and other watchable media, explaining every topic taught in schools, in every major language on Earth.



      Finally, imagine them all deeply and usefully categorized according to subject, education level, and placed in the order in which topics are typically taught.



      WatchKnow—as in, "You watch, you know"—has started building this resource.



      WatchKnow is both a resource for users and also a non-profit, online community that encourages everyone to collect, create, and share free, innovative, educational videos.



      WatchKnow is now officially launched, after being developed for over a year. Whether you’re a student, a parent, a teacher, or just someone who cares about the education of children, you can now use our service and get involved to make it even better. Please sign up! (But did you know that you can add new videos to our system without signing up? They'll have to be approved first.)



      There is no better online cause than the future of our children. And just imagine how fantastic it would be if there were a resource online we could go to, or send our kids to, that would explain every topic they study in school instantly and reliably. Many of the resources needed for such a site already exist online; they just need to be organized.
