Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Unveils STEM Videos For High School Classes
January23, 2012

T.H.E. Journal (1/4, Schaffhauser) reports, "The Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently hosted a workshop on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education that included a demonstration of a university project to create STEM focused videos that can be freely used in high school classes." The Journal reports, "Among the presentations was one featuring BLOSSOMS, Blended Learning Open Source Science or Math Studies. This MIT initiative features a courseware library with about 50 math and science lessons, all freely available to teachers in multiple formats: as streaming video, Internet downloads, DVDs, and videotapes."

These video lessons, while not directly tied to Science Olympiad events, could be very useful as enrichment resources for teams.  MIT has been making an big effort in recent years to post many of their instructional materials on the web for unrestricted use.  http://blossoms.mit.edu/home
