Three short case studies offer a useful guide to how induction tutors and mentors can make good use of Teachers TV to support their NQTs and trainee teachers on school placements. A primary induction tutor explains how she and her NQT search Teachers TV for appropriate videos once they have jointly prioritised areas for development. They watch together before choosing another to view before the next session. A GTP course tutor downloads extracts from programmes for use with her NQT induction group, sometimes transferring them into a PowerPoint presentation, and playing clips to provoke group discussion. A secondary mentor encourages his PGCE trainee teacher to independently find relevant programmes, and suggests applicable viewing. They then watch together and discuss what techniques could be used in the trainee's lessons. A demonstration of downloading and placing clips into PowerPoint is included, as is information about other features such as Teachers TV Groups and RSS feeds
