Quality and Effectiveness
With Edthena, teachers and coaches can record themselves when the opportunity arises and comment on and discuss lessons any time, at their own convenience, without having to find a time to meet.
Creative Use of Technology
Edthena uses technology to empower teachers to drive their own learning and to make the PD process easier, more effective, and less time-consuming.
Suitability for Use in a School Environment
The cloud-based program is easily integrated into the school environment so that everyone can access the program and videos at their convenience. Edthena is compatible with all systems—Windows, Mac OS X, iPhone, or iPad. With the iOS app, users can upload videos directly from a mobile device (which is not an option in many programs).
