New Multimedia Database For K-12 Educators Now Available
Teachers Domain is a brand new digital library and offers “multimedia resources for the classroom and professional development.” Access is free but you will need to complete a simple registration form. The site contains both multimedia content and lesson plans. According to the site, “each resource is tailored to specific grade levels and correlated to national and state standards.” Multimedia content includes video, audio, images, and interactive content. Presently, over 150 video clips are available with content coming from programs like Nova, A Science Odyssey, and Zoom. Funding for Teachers Domain comes from an NSF grant. This resource is also accessible via The National Science Digital Library.
