Welcome to SSAMCAST!

What is SSAMCAST?


SSAMCAST’s mission is to provide a place for users to share their knowledge and interact with others who value learning.  Through this exchange of lessons, we hope to give everyone an opportunity to both learn and teach.  SSAMCAST is a website that connects people together.  Our goal is to create a place where people can embrace their gifts and skills by teaching and learning in a way that interests them.  There are a million ways to learn and we hope that by using SSAMCAST, every user will find a teaching method that best suits their needs.

What can I do?



LEARN
SSAMCAST will officially launch in June and all our courses will be open to the public!  High school students will be able to study from our SAT lectures about SAT 1 Math, Reading, and Writing.  We also have some tips from current college students about how to get into the school of your choice.  SSAMCAST users will have a wide variety of new and original video content related to topics both educational and recreational.  You can learn about anything from biology to dancing- we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn.

TEACH

Once the site is open, you are welcome to create and manage your own courses for free.  You get to decide what you want to teach.  We encourage you to make a course about a subject you feel passionate about and share your knowledge with the world.    SSAMCAST is powered by Amazon Web Services, the best in cloud computing services, so your videos and profile information can be accessed wherever you have an Internet connection.

SHARE

After taking a course, share it with your friends on SSAMCAST!  With our “recommend’ feature, you can tell others about your favorite classes and invite them to learn alongside you.  Rate courses and watch your favorites as many times as you want!  Share in a collective learning experience by asking questions with our Ask SSAMCAST feature.  This allows you to pose a problem and work with someone to find a solution.

Are you excited for SSAMCAST?  Leave a comment below about what you're looking forward to when we launch our website.  Are you going to be a teacher, a student, or both?
