United Streaming

Specifically, United Streaming is a collection of videos for the classroom.  Accompanying the videos, in most cases, are lesson plans that may include worksheets and quizzes over the video segments.  Sometimes you may choose to just show certain segments of a particular title or the entire video.  At home, you can elect to download the video to the school server, and usually by the next morning the video is available for you to watch on your Smart Board through the computer.  Discovery Education is also home to ThinkLink, a computer based testing system that you can edit as needed.  ThinkLink allows the teacher to give ACT-like tests to the students.  Immediate feedback is available to determine what level each student is on.
