Videos from Discovery Education
For Macs:
Set the Stream Type to QuickTime.
If you want to embed the video in Notebook, set the Download Type to Flash.
Avoid having students watch videos at the same time on their laptops. The wireless network may not be able to handle the traffic.
Share videos by copying them to TeacherShare.
If you save a video to your desktop, it will be copied to the server the next time you sync. If the video is large, the syncing process can take several minutes. It is best to download videos to your Downloads folder, which does not get sync’ed.
Brainpop
Students select the School Help tab. Brainpop links will appear at the upper-right.
Check out the Internet video. I suggest it to all the staff. Seriously.
