New Streaming Content - Not Just Bill Nye!

We have seen a great increase in usage since we started streaming the Bill Nye content. We love seeing teachers use the Media Library and we love to hear back on how we can continue to help provide content for your classroom.

To enhance our catalog, we have also added the Deskercise Series by Slim Goodbody (for those of you who need to add physical activity into your classrooms). Just this week we also added the BIG Adventure Series! by Little Mammoth Media. This series takes children through adventurous locations like an Aircraft Carrier, a Submarine, the Space Shuttle, Yellowstone National Park, and much more! Check it out, and please always let us know if you're looking for something specific.
