Discovery Education provides useful tools for teachers. While expensive, the video-on-demand service takes the worry out of classroom use of copyrighted materials and is available to an entire school. A list of titles can be viewed to evaluate the curricular relevance and usability of the materials. The free resources on the site are good and include a handful of interesting online learning adventures.

Description:

Discovery Education offers a video-on-demand service, multimedia products for purchase, health curriculum subscription and free teacher tools. Students can find homework help links, learning adventures, games to challenge their minds and clip art to use. The newest feature is the video-on-demand without copyright worries. ESN review: "Though the use of video in the classroom is on the rise, the fear of legal recrimination has discouraged many educators from reproducing or editing digital video clips for educational purposes. Now, Discovery Education--the world's leading provider of streaming video and multimedia learning services to schools--has found a way to help educators avoid many of these copyright concerns. "Through a new offer, subscribers to Discovery's unitedstreaming video-on-demand service now have access to more than 1,000 video clips that have been copyright-cleared by their producers for editing or reproduction by teachers and students in class projects."

Possible uses:

In the teacher tools section, teachers can find online adventures that can be used with a whole class. These lessons include resources for teachers. Join 'Custom Classroom' and have access to Puzzlemaker, Worksheet Generator and the Quiz Center. Clip Art and Lesson Planner are two more tools available for teachers. Hundreds of lesson plans, written by other teachers, are searchable by subject and/or grade level. Teachers can find a library of multimedia products and investigate the video-on-demand service. Games, puzzles and homework help are available for students.
