New Year! New Items to Check Out!

If you haven't tried our "unitedstreaming" videos yet, take one for a spin. There are more than 4,000 full-length video programs that have been broken out into 40,000+ content-specific video clips that can be streamed or downloaded directly for use in your classroom. More importantly, the video titles can be searched by selecting the Indiana Standard you wish to reinforce with your students. Use the link on the "Websites' Link Bar" to the right to get to "unitedstreaming".

Other items of note from Discovery Education, the producers of "unitedstreaming"

• Look at the project demonstrations in the Professional Development section of unitedstreaming for ideas on creating living-history projects.
• Construct interactive student centers and imbed video content into interactive presentations so students can select their own learning path.
