Byrdseed.TV Is Great For Many Roles

I created Byrdseed.TV to help you offer complex lessons, projects, and investigations to your students. But, every classroom is different. Some folks teach a self-contained group, others pull students out for enrichment, and some teachers push in to offer support to several classrooms.

So, Byrdseed.TV is purposefully flexible in order to fit lots of different needs. Here are some possibilities, (I’m sure there are others)!

1. Most simply, you can just use Byrdseed.TV with your whole group. Play the video lessons for your entire class. Then you can facilitate the tasks. I taught a self-contained multiple-subject classroom and would have used this option all of the time.
2. But, you can also offer Byrdseed.TV to small, differentiated groups who have, perhaps, passed a pre-assessment and need something different from their peers. Create a student login, pick the lessons you want to offer, and let your small groups work at their own pace. I definitely wish I had had this when I was teaching. My small groups were always waiting for me to come over and tell them what to do next. With Byrdseed.TV, they can just move on!
3. Some teachers use Byrdseed.TV with centers. Set up those student accounts, and have kids rotate through different options throughout the week, using a device to access different Byrdseed.TV lessons at each center. Gosh I would have loved this when I was running centers. I could only be in one place at a time, and so often kids sat idle while they waited for help.
4. Finally, you can set Byrdseed.TV up to be used at home or in a different classroom. Student accounts are accessible from anywhere, so if you don’t finish something during your pull-out time, or you want to assign homework, or a kid was out stick for a week, they can still access the same lessons you used at school.

The idea is to take a bit of the load off of your shoulders and free you up to work more closely with your students, regardless of how (exactly) you set things up.
