United Streaming

This morning my class watched a Unitedstreaming video on Hanukkah. As much as I can become an expert on certain subjects that I teach, there is no better motivation for a lesson than to ask the students what knowledge they already have on a subject and then show a short video or segment that you know is trustworthy. Visual learners will be hooked for the rest of the lesson and give your lesson the enthusiasm it deserves. All Unitedstreaming content can be trusted. "Discovery Education provides engaging digital resources to schools and homes with the goal of making educators more effective, increasing student achievement, and connecting classrooms and families to a world of learning. "
Our district has an account with Unitedstreaming which provides access to all classrooms. The content on Unitedstreaming is more appropriate for school and much more predictable than a source like Youtube.
