Sibme Improves How Teachers Educate

photo sibme-improves-how-teachers-educate.jpgThe use of video as a teaching aid is an old idea, though one increasingly utilized as the quality and relevance of the videos used grows.  While it is useful in the classroom, it can also be useful in training teachers themselves as well as students, something of which a startup called Sibme is hoping to take advantage.  Sibme is a private video collaboration platform educators can use to improve teaching and learning, serving as a powerful tool for developing teachers in schools and other education-related organizations. It makes the often-laborious process of recording and uploading easier by allowing teachers to easily record themselves teaching with a smartphone and upload their videos to a secure platform where they can review and improve upon their teaching practices with trusted colleagues.

Sibme is especially useful on mobile devices, currently compatible with both Android and iOS devices.  Thus, you will need quick and effective computer support that can handle any issue with mobile tech devices should a malfunction prevent you from getting everything you can from its service.  Sibme features an intuitive interactive platform compatible with any teaching process no matter what particular style you implement.  It enhances the process by allowing teachers and those coaching them through the app to set professional learning goals, share resources, and share video of classroom teaching in order to improve instruction.

Sibme is set up to work with PLCs, groups of educators that meet regularly to share expertise and work together to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students.  The app’s PLC “Huddles” enable teachers within a certain grade level or content area to film a lesson, strategy, or skill to share with their team for the purpose of consideration and discussion. With these Huddles, you can focus on exactly on what you want to observe or share rather than spending limited resources on substitute teachers, losing valuable instructional days, and observing peers during less than ideal times.

The app requires a single download for it content, so you should show the same concern for Internet security as with any other download.  Sibme utilizes Swivl, a robotic personal camera that makes self-recording easy so that teachers can control the videotaping process using their own mobile devices.  This way, you can capture only what you want to show, upload it, and quickly share the entire video lesson or clips and related resources with peers.  Sibme Huddles also allow teacher mentors to upload, organize, and store recorded classroom lessons and related resources to model strategies for their pupil. In turn, developing teachers can upload and share recorded classroom lessons with their mentor and receive time-stamped feedback on their teaching.  With everything it offers, Sibme gives teachers a unique and helpful means of improving the way they educate.
